Share feedback or correctionFalls Lake is a 12,200-acre reservoir on the Neuse River in Wake, Durham, and Granville counties, just north of Raleigh in North Carolina's Piedmont. It was created in the early 1980s when the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers completed Falls Dam, a project authorized for flood control, water supply, water quality, recreation, and fish and wildlife conservation. It is a primary drinking-water source for the city of Raleigh.
