Badin, North Carolina is a French flavored town at the foot of the Uwharrie Mountains. Follow a North Carolina Scenic Byway as it curls under Morrow Mountain, winds through the lush fields of Valley Drive and drops gently into Badin. On the National Register of Historic Places, this village in northeastern Stanly County offers the visitor a pleasant stay in a quaint setting.

Little bridges over rock-lined storm drains give entry to French Colonial row houses. Winding, tree-lined lanes lead down to the serene waters of Badin Lake where one can fish in the company of herons and seagulls and the occasional bald eagle. Between the Narrows and the Falls Dams, the Yadkin/Pee Dee River flows between hundred foot high cliffs in a stunningly beautiful stretch of water.

Badin is beautifully situated in North Carolina’s Piedmont, an easy drive from the population centers of Charlotte, Raleigh and Winston-Salem/Greensboro/High Point. Pinehurst, Seagrove Area Potters, Morrow Mountain, the Uwharrie National Forest, the North Carolina Zoological Park, Reed Gold Mine, Historic Salisbury, the North Carolina Transportation Museum, and Town Creek Indian Mound are just a few of the area attractions within an hour’s drive of Badin.
