"I love the lakes. The lakes are why I choose to live here."
Connestee Falls' lakes and parks are unique to the community and offer one more way to become connected to the natural beauty that is Connestee Falls. Fish in the morning. Walk in one of the parks in the afternoon. Take a leisurely pontoon boat ride with your neighbors and watch the sunset over Pisgah Mountain.
