Founded in 1970, Lake Waynoka is a private, gated community surrounding a 300+ acre reservoir. Located between Sardinia and Russellville in Brown County, Ohio, United States, it is a 90-minute drive east on Route 32 from Cincinnati. The community is a census-designated place for statistical purposes, with a population of 1,173 at the 2010 census.[1]
History
In 1970, American Realty Service Corporation of Memphis, Tennessee, began the development of Lake Waynoka by buying farm land, damming the headwaters of Straight Creek, a tributary of the Ohio River, and dividing the land into lots roughly one-third of an acre in size. American Realty also created other lake communities.
Over the years, Lake Waynoka has transitioned from a weekend and summer get-away spot to a community of full-time residents with a high rate of continued growth. Migration from Cincinnati and Dayton has helped continue this growth.
Property Owners' Association
As a gated community, Lake Waynoka maintains its own roads, facilities and maintenance of the lake itself through annual membership fees paid to the controlling organization, Waynoka Property Owners Association, Inc. This body sets the rules and regulations and is composed of nine elected property owners in good standing.
