The HCA Lakes and Trails Committee has put together a guidance document that has important information, covenants, and state and county laws and regulations pertaining to the dos and don’ts of shoreline and water habitat management, fish and wildlife management, fishing, and boating, to help all lakefront landowners and all members using our Lakes meet our obligation to become good stewards of these important natural resources.

We Have Three Trails – Nature Trail, Hiking Trail, Hike/Bike Trail
Nature Trail
The Highlands Nature Trail starts in the back of the Playground, meanders along a small feeder creek, crosses Licking Creek and climbs up to the other trailhead on Seaview Drive.
Hike/Bike Trail
Paved trail adjacent to Lake Margaret properties along Woodpecker and Cattail Roads.
Note that a planned bridge across Second Branch has not been built; the Woodpecker Road bridge must be used.
Swift Creek Hiking Trail
This challenging hiking trail is located along the eastern side of the Highlands “Sundial Farms” neighborhood and follows along Swift Creek.
