Features

Many people in the area use the lakes for activities such as swimming and many different boating activities and a band called "Almost Perfect"

Areas

There are three separately gated sections that comprise Seven Lakes and share some amenities. The North side has eight or nine smaller lakes, the largest of which are Lake Sequoia and Lake Echo. Both of these lakes allow the use of boats with fueled engines but the smaller lakes restrict use to electric engines or human powered boats only. Only Landowners and their bona-fide guest may use these lakes or any of the many other amenities. Guest cards may be purchased annually for a nominal fee by landowners. The North side also has a beautiful community swimming pool, tennis courts and a wonderful stable/horseback riding area. The South side has the Seven Lakes Country Club and Golf Course. The West side is the newest and generally the most expensive of the three areas. It has Beacon Ridge Country Club within its gates. It also has Lake Auman, the largest of all of the communities lakes.
