There's Just Something About a Lake.... We’ve all experienced it at some point in our lives... maybe at summer camp as a kid, or from a vacation long ago. There’s a feeling almost indescribable about rising to sounds of waking birds echo over the complete stillness of a sleepy morning lake. Or drifting aimlessly in a canoe on a clear summer’s afternoon, doing nothing more than gazing at clouds, feeling the cool breeze over the water, and dreaming only dreams. Or watching the sun fall back beyond the water’s edge at the end of day, basking in the brilliance of the evening sky reflected so artistically in the slowly quietening surface. Yes...there is, indeed, just something about a lake.... Of course part of it, too, is in you can feel it all again...tomorrow.

Lake Troy aerialPresiding over the placid waters of the 80-acre Lake Troy Douglas is a 70-foot high, 1,500-foot long dam - a product of state-of-the-art design and engineering representing innumerable hours of planning and years of hard work to ensure it be the very best. Overall construction of both the dam and the ground over which the lake would rest was completed in July of 2000. Impounding of water began the following month and within 2-1/2 years the lake was filled to capacity. Now, with over 300,000 cubic yards of earth holding back the waters of several springs that form the headwaters of the McLendon Basin, the result is a body of water that is at once both extraordinarily beautiful and ecologically sound. It preserves the intended pristine nature of our community, and yet offers an environment featuring countless recreational opportunities for residents and their guests.
