Lizard Lick, North Carolina

Lizard Lick, North Carolina

Lizard Lick, North Carolina is a small, unincorporated community located just off of US 64 in Wake County.

The community is approximately 20 miles east of the state capital of Raleigh. It is about 3 miles north of Wendell and 3 miles west of Zebulon. In reality, it is the crossroads of Lizard Lick Road and Highway 97.

In May 1997, the state installed the first traffic light in Lizard Lick. The town apparently got its name from a "passing observer who saw many lizards sunning and licking themselves on a rail fence."

Lizard Lick has an unofficial population of 1,300.
