Bird watching is a unique and rewarding experience on and around High Rock Lake. To make the most of your adventure, remember to dress appropriately with comfortable clothes, bring the necessary equipment, such as binoculars and field guides, and be patient.  In the spring and summer months don't forget to bring the bug spray and watch out for tics. Take advantage of the opportunity to see rare and beautiful birds in their natural habitat and make memories that will last a lifetime. You don't even need a boat to see many species. There are several good birding areas around the lake. Yadkin River Park, Eagle Point Nature Preserve, just below the dam on Bringle Ferry road or any of the lake access points  will offer opportunities for bird watching. This website has several pages dedicated to the birds of High Rock Lake. click here for more.
