We began as a resort developement in the 1960s, but neglect and lack of control over the infrastructure caused the residents to incorporate and take charge. We now have good roads and a superior water system approved by the State of North Carolina. There is an excellent volunteer fire department nearby. Our people are very friendly and enjoy walking on our mostly one-way roads where no one ever meets a stranger. A one or two mile hike can end-up taking twice as long due to impromptu conversations among neighbors.
Pontoon boats are the preferred water craft.
Floating parties with as many as ten boats lashed together and 40-50 people picnicing is a wonderful experience. We plan to post useful and timely information about the Town of Lake Santeetlah on this web site. We want our residents and visitors to be well informed about the town business. Check back often for the latest updates. If you are interested in information about the area you may contact the Graham County Chamber of Commerce or the Graham County Chamber of Information web pages.
