Towne Lake
Towne Lake is a planned community in southern Cherokee County, Georgia, west of downtown Woodstock, developed in the late 1980s.
What is Towne Lake?
Towne Lake is a planned community in southern Cherokee County, Georgia. It is mostly unincorporated, and part of it lies inside the city of Woodstock. It is not a city of its own, so there is no separate census count for it.
The Means Brothers Company developed it in the late 1980s as a residential area. The name does not refer to an actual lake. It reflects the area's closeness to Woodstock and to Lake Allatoona.
The county it sits in was created in 1831, and its seat is Canton.
Where is Towne Lake?
The community begins about two miles west of downtown Woodstock and extends northwest. Bells Ferry Road forms its western edge, the Little River its northern edge and Interstate 575 its eastern edge.
Rose Creek and Noonday Creek run through the area. Both flow north into the Little River arm of Lake Allatoona.
Lake Allatoona lies in the southwest of the county and holds most of its water.
What was Towne Lake before it was built?
The land was once part of the Little River State Wildlife Management Area. Locals called the area Thousand-Acre Woods before it was developed.
A tornado struck the hill northwest of the Interstate 575 interchange in November 1992.
How do you get around Towne Lake?
The main roads are Towne Lake Parkway and Eagle Drive. Interstate 575 runs along the eastern side of the community.
In 2007 the Georgia Department of Transportation connected the Interstate 575 exit and entrance ramps with auxiliary lanes. The change was meant to ease merging and improve traffic at rush hour.
Towne Lake Parkway and Eagle Drive are the community's two main routes, and the Interstate 575 interchange sits on its eastern side.
What golf courses are in Towne Lake?
Two 18-hole, par 72 golf courses are listed for the community. Eagle Watch was designed by Arnold Palmer. Towne Lake Hills was built in 1994 by Arthur Hills. Eagle Watch is a member club run by Invited Clubs.
The community is divided into about 19 named subdivisions.
