Hyde County

Hyde County is best known in the United States for Lake Mattamuskeet, North Carolina’s largest natural lake. This low-lying county occupies part of the state’s coastal plain, between broad wetlands and the waters of Pamlico Sound, with Ocracoke Island forming its Atlantic-facing edge. Lake Mattamuskeet National Wildlife Refuge protects extensive habitat for migratory waterfowl, an important feature of the region’s seasonal rhythms. On Ocracoke, the white Ocracoke Lighthouse, completed in 1823, remains a defining maritime landmark. Fishing, boating and ferry travel are closely woven into life across these scattered coastal communities. Browse additional webcams from the surrounding area to extend your view of Hyde County.
