Enjoy a slower pace, aka "Lake Life," at our Waldron Lake Retreat, directly on Waldron Lake (FYI - no wake lake except between 10am - 5pm). Enjoy fishing, swimming, kayaking and boating. Bring your own fishing supplies. The private pier is installed and removed as weather permits, so pier access and boat docking are weather permitting. When the pier is installed, you can use it to access the water; the seawall is another access point. Take care with your footing around the rocky shoreline and slippery surfaces. Two kayaks and the floating Lily Pad are available year-round, with use depending on safe weather and water conditions. A few life jackets in different sizes are available; please bring your own to ensure a suitable fit, especially for children. Waldron Lake connects to three other lakes, with miles of river and lakes to explore. Bring your own boat if you would like to dock at the pier when it is installed. ~~~As a quick disclaimer and note to potential guests, we are a FAMILY ORIENTED neighborhood.
