Lake Wylie

Lake Wylie is a man-made lake located 13 miles Southwest of Charlotte, North Carolina.  Lake Wylie is the oldest lake in the Catawba River chain and was created in 1904 when a dam was constructed on the Catawba River near Fort Mill, South Carolina.  The lake was later enlarged to its current size of 13,400 acres when the dam was rebuilt in 1924.

Lake Wylie’s 325 miles of shoreline serves as the local border between North Carolina and South Carolina.  Three counties surround the lake: Mecklenburg and Gaston Counties in North Carolina and York County in South Carolina. Nearby cities and townships include Charlotte, Belmont, Lake Wylie, Tega Cay, Fort Mill and Rock Hill.

Lake Wylie residents benefit from a desirable location, moderate climate, superior school systems and a vibrant economy in Charlotte and other surrounding cities. Area attractions and recreation are plentiful: boating, fishing, water skiing, sailing, golf, tennis, hiking and other outdoor activities.  For those looking for a weekend getaway, popular Carolina beaches and the Blue Ridge Mountains are only a three-hour drive.

Local housing options include affordable single family homes, townhomes and condiminiums as well as waterfront and waterview custom homes and vacation homes.  Southern hospitality is common throughout our community.  Discover why so many people love calling Lake Wylie home, call 704-763-6571, email brianwaderealtor@gmail.com.
