Why Rent On Lake Wildwood

Lake Wildwood is a dammed reservoir fed by Colaparchee/Calaparchee Creek and Rocky Creek. Access to Lake Wildwood’s waterways is limited to residents in good standing and their guests. At the south end of Lake Wildwood a white-sand swimming beach provides cool refreshing breaks on a hot summer day. The beach is available to residents and guests with proper identification. Because there are no lifeguards on duty, no one is permitted to swim alone and anyone under age 17 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
