The Lakes area is an invitation to enjoy all kinds of recreational amenities all year long. At the Lakes, you can do as much or as little as you like. The Lakes are a romantic walk or a communion with wildlife. Your children will appreciate nature with peaceful hikes and frequent meetings with our abundant wildlife.

Lake Sherwood, Lake Camelot, and Lake Arrowhead were developed in northern Adams County in the late 1960's and early 1970's. They were created from 14 mile creek, which was fed by numerous springs. The soils were pure sand, which made a perfect basin for recreational properties with these 3 sand bottom, man-made lakes.

V-Shaped Lake Sherwood was the first lake developed and was an instant success. It's beautiful water and green trees proved it was aptly named. Lake Sherwood has a Lodge, which is great for get togethers and features light fare and beverages.
