Friends of Lake Glenville

Friends of Lake Glenville A non-profit organization working to ensure the continued beauty, integrity, safety and survival of Lake Glenville in Western North Carolina.

Founded in 1985, the Friends of Lake Glenville is a non-profit association of residents, property owners, member businesses and concerned individuals organized to benefit Lake Glenville. Our Mission is to preserve and protect the natural beauty and integrity of Lake Glenville. Our efforts focus specifically on water quality, lake ecology and environment, lake clean up and boating safety. The Assoc

iation functions primarily as an advocate of good lake management by providing a means for addressing and solving lake issues. It is in this capacity that FLG has built and maintains a good relationship with Duke Energy as owner of the lake and serves as a conduit for information between our members, Duke Energy, Jackson County and other local officials. We are impassioned advocates working to protect and preserve the natural beauty of Lake Glenville for the betterment and enjoyment of all. We also play a role as stewards of the lake by sponsoring our own monthly quarterly water quality testing program of the 5 main streams that feed the lake and semi-annual testing of the lake water. We also assist Duke Power with other initiatives and projects that have a direct effect on residents, home owners and visitors alike. We hold various social and informational events throughout the year, where members learn more about the lake, share community news, and enjoy the pleasure of each others' company. We are also the main sponsor, along with other sponsors and some members of the public, of the annual Lake Glenville fireworks on the Lake that takes place on or around July 4th each year.

Kelly Feist and Marianne Smith participated in the Brats, Beer and Volunteers Event this week at Whiteside Brewing and were happy to talk to attendees about FLG’s mission to Preserve, Protect and Educate to keep Lake Glenville the most beautiful lake in the Eastern United States! We are always looking for volunteers to participate in our annual lake cleanup and to join the fun at our upcoming Boat Parade and Fireworks Over the Lake on July 5, starting at 8:30 PM. Most of all we need new members so that we can continue our advocacy and water testing programs. Join today and take a look at our initiatives at www.FriendsOfLakeGlenville.com

What a day! The annual lake clean up yesterday was a huge success- the weather was beautiful and over 80 volunteers came out on boats, jet skis, and kayaks to bring in all kinds of things to make Lake Glenville both beautiful and SAFE! Pieces of derelict docks, bottles, styrofoam, chairs, and even a wheel and an old sunken sailboat were pulled from the lake! The Cashiers Glenville Rescue Squad Dive Team participated and pulled a drone out of the lake as well as various other items. We had a barge stationed at Buck K**b Island , manned by Greg Walters and Danny Mullins, to take in trash from the southern part of the lake and as usual, Bryan Simon of the Glenville Sawmill, had his mighty crane pulling out the big stuff at the Pine Creek ramp. Afterwards the volunteers enjoyed a pizza lunch at Happs place and donated awards were given out. We sincerely thank our sponsors and donors who continue to support our efforts in making Lake Glenville the place to be!

We had a great season opener last night at the beautiful Brookings facility attended by over 70 people! The weather cooperated and allowed us to mingle on the porch and outdoor patio and get caught up with each other before we enjoyed a delicious barbecue dinner prepared by Happ’s Place.
President Chris Warren updated the crowd on all we have planned for 2026 and we then had not 1 but 2 guest speakers ! Fisher Druffel discussed fishing on Lake Glenville including a historical perspective of how fishing the lake has evolved over the years, and many tips on when and where you can get the best catch! Then Captain Mark Wise, owner of Scenic Waterfall Cruises of Lake Glenville, gave a fascinating talk about our local celebrities, the Eagle Family of Lake Glenville, fondly referred to as George and Martha.
It’s not too late to join Friends of Lake Glenville! It’s easy- go to

Such a great article from our Water Quality Testing partner Equinox Environmental ! Some great ideas about redirecting the water from your roof/downspouts into a gorgeous landscape feature. And best part of all, this approach lessens the potential runoff on your property upsetting the delicate balance of water quality in Lake Glenville.

Thank you NC Wildlife!
