Community Guide
Why Lake Arrowhead?
Tom Townsend has lived and worked in this area for over two decades. Here's what he tells families about Lake Arrowhead.
Private Lake & Marina
The 540-acre private lake is the centerpiece of the community — with a marina, boat storage, fishing, and waterfront homesites. Unlike public Georgia lakes, Lake Arrowhead offers low-traffic water access for residents only.
Golf & Amenities
The community features an 18-hole championship golf course, clubhouse, tennis courts, fitness center, and swimming pools. HOA fees cover amenities that would cost significantly more at comparable private clubs.
Full-Time & Retreat Living
Lake Arrowhead attracts both year-round families and buyers looking for a mountain-lake getaway. The lower price point compared to Lake Lanier waterfront makes it an attractive alternative.
Cherokee County Schools
Full-time residents attend Cherokee County Schools. The area's rural setting means larger lots and a quieter pace of life, while Canton and I-575 are just a short drive south.
"We were looking for a lake property that didn't require a Lake Lanier budget. Tom knew Lake Arrowhead well and helped us find a waterfront lot that fit perfectly."
