Lake-Wylie is both a lake, and a village on the shore of the lake, in northwest South Carolina. The village of Lake Wylie lies along a peninsula on the lake and has a population of 8,841 full-time residents. Lake Wylie is ideally situated about 17 miles from Charlotte. It's a thriving, friendly community that is home to both growing families and retirees. Lake Wylie, the lake, encompasses over 325 miles of shoreline and 12,000 acres. Activities at the lake includes boating, fishing, water-skiing, sailing, swimming, hiking, biking and picnicking. There is also golf and tennis in the area, and for sports lovers, the NFL Carolina Panthers and the NBA Charlotte Bobcats play their home games in Charlotte. The Charlotte Knights play professional baseball at Knights Stadium, which is just a few minutes away in Fort Mill. Lake Wylie is also just a short drive to the Charlotte-Douglas International Airport and a 3-hour drive to the South Carolina beaches and Blue Ridge Mountains. The Buster Boyd Bridge is a four-lane bridge that spans Lake Wylie between Steele Creek, North Carolina and the village of Lake Wylie in York County. This route also connects NC Highway 49 (York Road) to SC Highway 49 (the Charlotte Highway). At least 30,000 vehichles travel across the bridge every day.

Lake Wylie Weather & Climate

The Heartland, near the city of Charlotte, has a moderate, four-season climate. The single most important factor in the state that influences weather is altitude. The Heartland, or central part of the state, is partially protected by the western mountain ranges from the cold air that moves southeastward across the central States. Extreme cold temperatures are rare outside the mountains. The warmest days are found in the interior rather than near the coast. Autumn is the driest season and the season of most rapidly changing temperature. There is no distinct wet or dry season in the state, although July is usually the wettest month. North Carolina is outside the principal tornado area of the U.S., but still averages two or three per year, mostly east of the Mountains in the spring. Tropical hurricanes come close enough to influence the weather about twice in an average year.
