The beautiful Lake Norman area includes the Town of Davidson as well as the close by communities of Cornelius, Huntersville and Mooresville.

These communities offer a variety of shopping, dining, entertainment, and outdoor recreation opportunities all within a 10-to-15-minute drive of Davidson's campus. Lake Norman is 34 miles long with 520 miles of shoreline and offers numerous attractions to explore. Davidson College students, faculty and staff enjoy exclusive access to Lake Norman at the College's Lake Campus located five minutes north of campus. All of these communities have experienced tremendous growth over the past 20 years and continue to grow rapidly.
