<span class="mw-page-title-main">Lake Hico</span> Cooling pond reservoir in Jackson, Mississippi

Lake Hico was a cooling pond reservoir built on 16th section school land in Jackson, Mississippi, in the 1950s. Its primary purpose was to provide water for the adjacent Rex Brown Plant, which generates electricity with steam. Initially, Lake Hico was open to the public for recreation. The lake was closed to the public in the late 1960s, along with the public swimming pools in Jackson, due to racial prejudices preventing peaceful integration of public swimming holes. Lake Hico was built as a cooling lake for the Rex Brown Electric Generating complex. Part of the agreement with the Hinds County board of supervisors was to have a public recreation lake and a lake for the intake and the exhaust of water for cooling for the generators. Thus the two lakes. It was originally built as a fuel oil based generating system but was later converted to natural gas when oil got so expensive in the 1970’s. The reasons why it was finally closed to the public were 1- the Barnett Reservoir opened and most people who had formerly used the lake went there and 2- the liability costs to MP&L skyrocketed after there was a couple of drownings. The fact that integration of such public spaces was being attempted by some and resisted by others in Jackson, Mississippi at the time is possibly pertinent. The adjacent Hico Park was closed after a lawsuit to integrate that park was filed as late as 1975. The Rex Brown plant was just recently totally dismantled.
