On the Water

This 16-acre lake, while small, is a great place for fishing! Trout are the most common fish found here, but other species such as bass and bream can also be caught in this lake. Due to the size, this lake is a no-wake lake. However, residents are welcome to use non-motorized crafts such as canoes and kayaks.
