About Highland Lake

Set along the base of Blount Mountain, Highland Lake is a quiet lakeside town where life naturally centers on the water. Winding, tree-lined roads trace miles of shoreline and calm coves, giving the whole area a relaxed, scenic feel. You will often see neighbors out on pontoon boats, fishing for bass off private docks, or just enjoying the sunset across the lake.

The town itself is entirely residential, which keeps neighborhood traffic low and the atmosphere peaceful year-round. Everyday errands, restaurants, and Blount County schools are a quick ten-minute drive away in Oneonta, while Birmingham is close enough for an easy commute. For anyone looking for a friendly waterfront retreat surrounded by green hills, Highland Lake provides a comfortable balance of seclusion and convenience.
