Being by water is good for the body and mind and is associated with many positive measures of physical and mental wellbeing, from higher levels of vitamin D to better social relations. It's so important, in fact, that proximity to water is being studied by BlueSpace, a research initiative that looked for links between water, climate, and health.
At Splinter Creek, we live by the code of water, with three lakes and waterfront homesites on our 650 acres. Water is so crucial to our community that our latest improvement project has been expanding one of our lakes. Early next spring, our South Lake will be close to 5 acres larger and deeper. The expanded lake footprint will create more shoreline for additional homesites and will offer more space for water activities, such as canoeing, paddle boarding, swimming, boating, and fishing.
Read below for more interesting facts about the three lakes at Splinter Creek.
Our North Lake is 45 acres, our South Lake will become 30 acres, and Partners Pond is 8 acres.
The lakes are the "main streets" of Splinter Creek, and each has a combination of docks, floating piers, a pavilion with fire pit, outdoor kitchen for use by homeowners, their families and guests.
The lakes were built for swimming, boating, and fishing.
All three bodies of water are professionally managed monthly by American Sport Fish, one of the largest producers of live, freshwater fish for stocking in the southeast U.S.
The Splinter Creek lakes are stocked with copper nose bluegill, bream, and large-mouth bass.
The Splinter Creek lakes were built by the same engineers who built the lake at Shelby Farms in Memphis.
Our lakes are clay-lined and an interconnected system that maintains a constant level year-round.
No jet skis or wave runners are allowed. Four-stroke outboard motors are allowed during sunrise-sunset. Electric motors are encouraged and allowed anytime.
The Splinter Creek lakes are private, and for the us of our property owners, and their families and guests.
