Lakes

Meadow Lake

This lake was built by the golf course for irrigation. Originally the Meadow Lake had 13–17 water wells draining into it for irrigation storage. When Forest Ridge development started, the lake was in a meadow, thus the name. The waterfalls and circulatory pump were installed by Forest Ridge development when the Courtyards II neighborhood was built. Jogging trails were also added during this development. Forest Ridge stocked Meadow Lake with donated fishthat include bass, perch, and catfish. Forest Ridge development built spawning beds for the fish to propagate.

Kunze Lake

This lake was built for irrigation storage for Forest Ridge Golf Course and as an amenity for Lochmere and Stanford’s Landing neighborhoods and backs to The Pointe neighborhood. Kunze Lake is home to many fish that have been donated to the lake from upstream fish ponds.

Highlands Lake

There are two lakes within the Highlands neighborhood. There are two manual valves that can be opened to drain approximately 3 million gallons into Kunze Lake that can then be used for irrigation on the golf course.

Cottage Lake/Pond

Cottage Lake

This lake was built as an amenity for Lochmere and The Cottages neighborhoods. Cottage Lake is one of the most serene and beautiful lakes Forest Ridge has built. Forest Ridge stocked this lake with red-ear bait fish and catfish.

Cottage Pond

This pond was built as an amenity for The Cottage neighborhood, since the neighborhood was built on two main streets. Forest Ridge Development thought it would be nice to have an interior for residents’ focus. Cottage Pond is stocked with bait fish, catfish and some Koi. Access to this pond is for residents of The Cottageneighborhood only.

Villas On The Green Pond

This pond was an existing one on the property and was enlarged in the current location. The pond has a small spring draining into it, but not enough water flow to keep it full during the hot summer months. A fountain was added as a visual amenity and this pond was not stocked with fish. Access to this pond is for Villas On The Green residents only.
