| Frequently Asked Questions - The Lake |
When will construction begin on the lake and how long will it take?
Construction is anticipated to begin on the lake in December and is estimated to take approximately six months to dig the entire 165 acres of waterways and lake.

What will the depth of the lake be?
Average lake depth will be approximately 8 feet.
Back to Top
How will you fill the lake?
The lake will be filled primarily through two sources: (1)Ground Water - Natural recharge of ground water into the cavity being cut as, and after, we dig the lake. (2)Surface water and run off from the natural drainage of the wetlands that flow into and out of that location. It is estimate that it will take about 4-6 months for the lake to fill.
Back to Top
How do we keep the water fresh?
The water will be kept fresh on a constant, ongoing basis. It will be constantly replenished through ground water and through natural rainfall, and through the natural flushing through the wetlands of run off into the lake basin. The lake is designed to be fed from the north with run-off to the south. Also we will have bubblers and other aeration devices that will be strategically located in different parts of the lake.

How will you maintain the lake level during dry periods?
The lake level will, in fact, fluctuate. There is no way of maintaining a constant lake level. Our engineers tell us that the lake level will probably vary about 6 inches during a normal year, and that during a significantly dry year, it may vary up to one foot.
Back to Top
What will the elevation of the lake be in relation to the surrounding land?
The surface water of the lake will be approximately 16' in elevation, and the homesites surrounding the lake will vary from 19' to 26', with most of the homesites averaging 20' to 22' in elevation.

How will you control the alligator population?
We are working directly with the Department of Natural Resources to have an ongoing reptile management program, and we will also have a full time employee responsible for managing the lake and that program.

What size boats and what size engines will be allowed on the lake?
This hasn't been fully determined at this point in time. We will determine the answer to the question, though, prior to anyone going completely forward on a purchase agreement in this initial release. At this point in time, we are anticipating limiting boat size to about 20' in length and boat motor size to about 25 hp for a gas engine. This assumes that all gas engines on the lake will be 4 cycle, which is very environmentally friendly, non-polluting, and quiet. Smaller boats will be required to have smaller horsepower engines. For example, 18-19' boats might be restricted to a 15 hp engine and anything under 17' might have a 10 hp engine. There will be no jet skis. The intent is to have a very peaceful lake with no fast speeding boats and no wakes.
