Hyco Lake

North Carolina's Person and Caswell counties contain the reservoir known as Hyco Lake. It is the larger of Person County's two lakes, the other being Mayo Lake, and is the primary location for fishing, boating, water skiing, wakeboarding, and recreational activities. North Hyco Creek, South Hyco Creek, and Cobbs Creek are the lake's three principal tributaries. The lake was created from the Hyco River. Numerous houses with quite high property values have been built along the lake's beaches as a result of interest in buying holiday homes there. Along with the Hyco River, North Hyco Creek, South Hyco Creek, and Cobbs Creek are all tributaries that help keep the reservoir full and provide locals and tourists with a lovely recreational waterway. Around Hyco Lake, more than 1,500 residences have been built, with roughly 800 of them now occupied. The lake flows through the communities of Semora and Leasburg, while Roxboro, NC lies about ten miles to the east of the lake. Hyco Lake, the larger of Person County's two lakes, is the primary location for fishing, boating, water skiing, wakeboarding, and recreational activities.

The Person-Caswell Lake Authority has been in charge of the lake and its leisure area ever since it was founded. The North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources is in charge of controlling the water. Up to 420 feet (130 meters) above sea level, the land surrounding the lake is owned by Duke Energy Progress.
