Lake Glenville North Carolina is a truly special place only 4 miles from Cashiers and  12 miles from Highlands.  Families have come for generations to enjoy the spectacular natural beauty, low-key lifestyle, and wide variety of activities. Lake Glenville, originally known as Thorpe Reservoir is the highest lake east of the Mississippi, with 26 miles of shoreline at an altitude of over 3400 feet. Encompassing 1470 acres the waters of this pristine lake offer a variety of water sports, excellent fishing or just a leisurely cruise around the many coves and spectacular waterfalls along its banks. Lake Glenville is considered to be one of the 10 most beautiful lakes in America.  Our elevations range from 3000 - 5000 feet and offer our area residents cool summers and mild winters. Along with the activities the lake provides, the surrounding area, known as the "Land of Waterfalls," provides an abundance of great hiking, biking, rafting and horseback riding. Cashiers and Highlands have many lovely restaurants and exquisite shops.
