About Lake Waccamaw

Learn more about the host city, Lake Waccamaw.

Scenic view of

Lake Waccamaw is a town in Columbus County, North Carolina, United States. The population was 1,296 at the 2020 census. Originally home to Native Americans, Europeans later colonized Lake Waccamaw in the 18th century. The Europeans built naval stores and the discovery of turpentine oil led to the Wilmington-Manchester railroad track being created. A shingle company was later converted to a lumber company. In 1910, a group of townspeople created the Waccamaw Club.
