Lake Wylie is a man--made lake located in North Carolina and South Carolina. The lake covers a surface area of about 13,400 acres has 325 miles of shore line. Lake Wylie is located in three different counties: York (SC), Gaston (NC), and Mecklenburg (NC). The unique diversity in the three counties offers potential residents a wide variety of lifestyle choices. Tega Cay, Fort Mill, Rock Hill, Lake Wylie, Belmont, and southern Charlotte have different "personalities", different school opportunities, variety in shopping and amenities.
Lake Wylie is one of eleven lakes on the Catawba River, the second oldest lake in the Catawba River Chain. The Catawba River Chain of lakes is operated as a system by Duke Power, with water being moved around each lake as needed by the power company.
The Catawba Nuclear power plant is located on the south-western part of the lake, and draws its cooling water from the lake. On the northern part of the lake (west of Charlotte), the Allen Steam plant also draws its cooling water from the lake.
Because lake levels are managed by the power company, Lake Wylie generally does not experience radical fluctuations in lake water levels.
