Lake Michie is a reservoir in central North Carolina, within the Neuse River watershed. The lake is located in northern Durham County near the town of Bahama. Fed principally by the Flat River, Lake Michie is the primary reservoir for the city of Durham.

The reservoir dam was completed in 1926. In addition to retaining drinking water for the city, the concrete and earthwork dam, built between 1924 and 1926, supplied hydroelectric power to Durham until 1960, when the generators were removed.

Lake Michie has Largemouth Bass. Boat rentals are available. Other fish found in the lake include Channel Catfish, Flathead Catfish, Blue Catfish, Chain Pickerel, Longnose Gar, and various others.
