The finger of the lake where Long
Cove is located is itself the size of
Lake Athens, and holds some of the
deepest, calmest, clearest water on
Cedar Creek, more coveted features of
recreational lakes. Texas lakes are prone
to drought, and Cedar Creek has seen

the geography to keep water levels
higher even during the worst five-year
droughts. For one, this is the southern
end, the dam is here, and water is
always naturally flowing downward.
This end is closer to Athens, which
enjoys a rolling natural terrain of hills
that slope into the lake.

which combined with the on-site
concierge service, makes owning a lake
home far less of a chore, which is a basic
