Mayo Lake


Mayo Lake is a reservoir located in northeastern Person County, North Carolina. Boating entrance, walking trails, swimming access, picnic and camp site areas are accessed from Neals Store Road about 9 miles north of the city of Roxboro along NC 49. It is smaller than Hyco Lake.
Also known as Mayo Reservoir, it was created by an earthen dam impoundment of Mayo Creek, which was completed in 1983. Construction of the reservoir was undertaken from 1978 to 1983 by Carolina Power & Light.
The lake's shoreline is maintained in a natural state.
