Lake Use in 2025 The Town Council and leadership are fully aware of how important it is to reopen the lake, and they are committed to doing so as soon as it's safe. However, due to the timeline of the work completed so far and the ongoing efforts required, it's highly unlikely that the lake will be open for the 2025 summer season, including both motorized and non-motorized vessels, as well as swimming. For those of you who have been following the storm recovery closely, this may not be new information, but we wanted to ensure you received this update directly. Rest assured, the Town Council will continue to explore options for reopening the lake or portions of it, and we will keep you informed with any new developments.4 through March 31, 2025 by 12 feet for routine dredging and maintenance.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and a dining table.

Weekend Getaway
The house was perfect for our family weekend getaway. There were plenty of toys and games to keep the kids and adults entertained. Everything was clean and spotless and we loved that we could see the lake but it was far enough away we didn’t have to worry about the children trying to go without letting adults know. Everyone loved the kayaks too. Great bonus!

Wonderful Vacation Spot
My family and I had an amazing stay at The Cove Retreat. The location was ideal and it was incredible to be just a few steps away from a calm beach and the lake. The house was well kept, clean, and as described. We absolutely would stay at this location again and will have fond memories of this trip.
