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. Water is supplied to Lake Hico by a 8.0 km long pipeline from the Pearl River. The vast majority of water supply to keep the lake full comes from the pipeline. Lake Hico is near the headwaters of Eubanks Creek, but the creek does not flow through the lake.
