Lake Wylie

Lake Wylie is a 12,455 acre man-made lake on the South Carolina/North Carolina border. It is operated by Duke Energy and is known for summer water sports. The oldest lake on the Catawba, it was first created by a dam near the town of Fort Mill in 1904, which was rebuilt in 1924. The lake has 325 miles of shoreline, and since portions of this lake lie in both North and South Carolina, fishermen are advised to obtain the proper licenses.
