Towne Lake

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Towne Lake is an unincorporated master planned community in southern Cherokee County, Georgia, United States. It is located about two miles (3 km) due west of downtown Woodstock in an area formerly known (at least to longtime locals) as "Thousand Acre Woods", originally part of the Little River State Wildlife Management Area, which has since completely succumbed to suburban development. The community was developed by the Means Brothers Company in the late 1980s as an upscale residential enclave, but has become a bustling commercial area as well. Towne Lake is traversed by two northward-flowing creeks - Rose Creek and Noonday Creek. Main roads include Towne Lake Parkway and Eagle Drive, and the area is also bordered by Bells Ferry Road to the west, Little River to the north and I-575 to the east.

There was never a lake known as "Towne Lake." The name comes from the community's geographic proximity to the "Town" of Woodstock and to Lake Allatoona.

Towne Lake is the home of Hobgood Park, the largest recreational public park in Cherokee County. Towne Lake is also well known for golf courses. There are two golf courses within the borders of Towne Lake. Eagle Watch is an 18 hole, par 72 course designed by Arnold Palmer. Towne Lake Hills is an 18 hole, par 72 course built in 1994 by Arthur Hills.
