The centerpiece of Hideaway - around which the community is designed - is its chain of three scenic lakes -- 148, 80, and 7 acres in size -- which provide both great natural beauty and abundant recreational opportunities.

Community docks are available in four locations for mooring or fishing, and there are six boat launching sites to accommodate fishing boats, ski boats, pontoon boats, sail boats, canoes, and other craft.

An annual Independence Day boat parade features local boats decked out in holiday colors and themes.

Boat storage areas are also operated by the Club to provide locations for storage of watercraft near the lakes.

An active lakes management program , guided by a consulting aquatic biologist, helps insure the health and development of the fish populations on the lakes, while also protecting water quality and preventing the growth of nuisance vegetation.

Many lakeside residents also have their own piers and boat houses, and several lake coves offer great spots for both swimming and dipping a hook.

A beautiful lakeside beach , maintained daily by the Club staff, provides a great place for sunning, volleyball, picnicking, and other fun on the sand, and the beach is fronted by a protected swimming area adjacent the Club's swimming pool. A refreshment stand is also operated nearby for residents' convenience.

Flocks of ducks, the occasional bald eagle, and beautiful sunsets make Hideaway's lakes wonderful places for enjoying nature and for an enjoyable end-of-the day picnic or drink on the water.
