Reynolds Lake Oconee - Blissful Living
Age may be the simplest known divider of groups that range from young families to retirees. But when it comes to where they live, they do share three goals:
1. Both want a wide range of diverse activities for individual choices
2. They appreciate a beautiful and water-oriented surroundings
3. All ages prefer a peaceful and quiet retreat but within an hour or less to big city amenities
These attributes are what Reynolds Lake Oconee is one of the best places to retire on a lake. You just have to listen to testimonials from those who live around the Lake Oconee golf courses. These range from the appreciation of finding fast friends, because most everyone is from somewhere else, to the good schools and other amenities prized by families.
The sparkling 19,000 acre lake permeates every aspect of daily life. Residents bring their children here to learn to fish, kayak or canoe. The fun in endless including water skiing outings or moonlight cruises. No boat? No problem. Pontoon boat rentals, canoes and kayaks are readily available Reynolds' four full-service marinas and numerous waterfront amenities assure that access to the lake is easy for everyone. Hiking trails weave beautifully in and around the lake.
Reynolds is known for its magnificent Lake Oconee golf courses. The designers took advantage of the lakeside location that dates back a century as a family retreat to create 117 holes of golf that have been rated both unique and challenging. Five legendary architects that included Jack Nicklaus came up with six spectacular designs that used the handsome existing backdrop of the area. Some holes skirt the lake winding through the course. All take into play the gracefully rolling terrain.
