The views from the dock are peaceful and lovely - looking out onto a largely undeveloped portion of Hyco Lake. Trees provide shade in the late afternoon.

North Hyco Creek, South Hyco Creek and Cobbs Creek are all tributaries that along with the Hyco river, keep the reservoir filled, creating a beautiful recreational waterway for residents and visitors alike. Over 1,500 homes have been constructed around Hyco Lake with about 800 being occupied year round. The lake flows in and around the municipalities of Semora and Leasburg, and the city of Roxboro, NC is located about ten miles east of the lake. Hyco Lake is the area’s main destination for fishing, boating, water skiing, wake boarding, and recreation and the larger of Person County’s two lakes. 20 minutes to Virginia International Raceway (VIR) 1 hour from RDU, Durham, Raleigh, Chapel Hill 1.5 hours from Winston-Salem The floating dock is an approximately 90 yard walk on a meandering, gravel path through the woods, culminating in about 20 steps down to the dock. (We are still working on perfecting it as the gravel settles. See photos at end of listing for most up to date depictions.) Bring sturdy sandals for the walk. The walk to the dock could pose challenges for people with balance or mobility issues, given the natural terrain, but the one-level house is very accessible with only a few steps up into the house and a single step onto the deck.
