These Are The Great Outdoors, Indeed

Lake Toxaway is an outdoor Mecca for adventure: hiking, biking, exploring, fishing, nature watching, and more. Not only does Lake Toxaway boast an ideal location on Lake Toxaway, it is also poised in the midst of natural wonderland of state parks and national forests. Among the more celebrated are Panthertown Valley – which backs up to the Lake Toxaway property – and Gorges State Park, both teeming with lush forests, trickling streams, gushing waterfalls, expansive ridgelines, and a variety of wildlife. There is truly adventure in every direction…out the door, down the path, over the hill, along the stream. The best way to explore this area is to pick a direction and go. Many of our residents and their families are avid outdoor enthusiasts, who partake in a variety of recreational pursuits – some intensive, some relaxing, some in-between.
