Movement growing to open Lake Hico

Ben Allen and Kim Wade were both joined by Ramey Ford (Jackson Parks and Recreation) and Wydette Hawkins (local business owner) to talk about the need and the mechanics for re-opening Lake Hico which was closed in 1967.

Lake Hico basically starts at the dam on the west side of Northside, just south of 220. It is a 325 acre lake.

Initial plans are to have it open for fishing and light recreation.

Here’s to hoping this gets done and serves as a precursor for the Two Lakes project.
