One of the picturesque beauties of Western North Carolina lies the serene expanse of Lake Toxaway. Spanning 640 acres, this man-made marvel stands as the largest private lake in the state, an idyllic oasis between the charming towns of Brevard and Cashiers along US Highway 64. Embraced by the majesty of the surrounding mountains, Lake Toxaway boasts a tranquil ambiance that beckons travelers seeking solace in nature’s embrace.
Fueled by the pristine waters of several mountain streams, including the Toxaway River, this lake maintains a constant elevation of 3,000 feet above sea level, offering a haven of natural splendor. With depths plunging to 60 feet and 14 miles of meandering shoreline, Lake Toxaway presents a playground of aquatic enthusiasts.
Water based recreation thrives here, inviting visitors to indulge in a myriad of activities. From leisurely swims to exhilarating boating expeditions, from the thrill of skiing and tubing to the serene paddling of a board or sailboat, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. Anglers will delight in the diverse aquatic life that calls these waters home with rainbow trout, large and smallmouth bass, bluegill and walleye awaiting their eager pursuit.
While Lake Toxaway is privately owned, its splendors are accessible to those who seek membership in the esteemed Lake Toxaway Estate or choose to sojourn at the Greystone Inn. Membership bestows a wealth of privileges including unfettered access to the lake, well maintained roads courtesy of the LTCA, and vigilant security patrols.
One of Lake Toxaway’s most notable attributes is in remarkable purity, attributed to the pristine waters that flow from the Nantahala and Pisgah National Forests. This distinction renders it one of the cleanest lakes in the region, a testament to its unspoiled charm and enduring allure.
Whether seeking adventure or serenity, Lake Toxaway stands as a beacon of natural beauty, inviting all who behold its splendor to bask in its tranquility and forge lasting memories amidst its pristine shores.
