Lake Wylie LivingLake Wylie is a beautiful man-made lake bordering both North Carolina and South Carolina. It covers more than 13,000 acres of water and over 300 miles of shoreline- it has an average depth of 20 feet.

Lake Wylie is a popular recreational destination for residents of nearby cities including Charlotte, Fort Mill, and Rock Hill.

Known for it's bass tournaments, Thursday night fishing competitions, Friday night water shows put on by Carolina Show Ski Team and its exceptional Fourth of July fireworks display, Lake Wylie is a great place to find a home!
