Lake Toxaway is a premiere year-round and second home destionation featuring the lake, a country club, ample recreation, and access to great hiking, fishing, and dozens of waterfalls. The community is surrounded by over 5,000 acres of wooded forests and mountains but within an easy drive of Asheville, Atlanta, and Greenville.
The Lake Toxaway Community Association (LTCA) is a nonprofit North Carolina corporation organized specifically for the residents of Lake Toxaway Estates. The community includes over 1,200 residential lots and the LTCA is responsible for maintaining the lake, 36 miles of roadways within the Estates, and several recreational amenities open to community residents.
