Pick a Lake, But Not Just Any Lake

Lakeside living offers endless days on the water. Whether you want to relax on the dock, or water skiing is your thing, the lake lifestyle has something for everyone.

With so many communities to choose from across the U.S., how do you decide which one is right for you?

First, it’s important to be clear on your priorities and needs. Do you want to be minutes from the city? Or, does it suit you to be more remote? Is mountain life for you, or do you prefer lower altitudes? Once you have answered some of these questions, it’s time to start exploring regions of interest.

Start Exploring

The southern states are obvious destinations for sun-seekers. Florida not only has year round sunshine but some of the most well-designed lake communities in the U.S. And, some of them are just around the corner from family-style attractions like Disney World and Busch Gardens.

But, if the mountains or foothills are more your style, then take a look at communities in North Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, or Arkansas. Many of them combine majestic mountain views with a serene lakeside lifestyle. Boating opportunities, a tight-knit community, and access to year-round outdoor activities are among the perks of more remote mountain-living.

If access to golf is as important as access to a lake, then you’re in luck. Most lake communities offer award-winning golf courses with dreamy lake views.

Go Out and Find It

Your lake community is out there and we’re here to help you find it. Browse through the list below to choose lake communities of interest. Then, inquire about their discovery travel packages. You can’t know until you go!
