Towne Lake Parkway

Towne Lake is a

Little River
State Wildlife Management Area, which has since completely succumbed to suburban development.

The community was developed by the

Bells Ferry Road to the west, Little River to the north, and Interstate 575
to the east.

Towne Lake Parkway Forermerly known as West Church from Main St. To I-575 Interchange (used to be a two way street down to Mill street, now it's westbound only) begins at Main Street as a continuation of Arnold Mill Road, and goes west to a diamond interchange with I-575. Between Main Street in Woodstock and the Woodstock Parkway intersection, the road is two way traffic with one lane in each direction. Mill Street was intended to have been a split route carrying eastbound traffic through downtown while westbound remained on Towne Lake, but the development of Downtown Woodstock prevented this configuration from being completed east of Main Street and the railroad tracks.

About halfway through the

median planted with trees, and carry two lanes in each direction. The east/west part of the roads was mostly a dirt road
until the development was built. Towne Lake Parkway was built divided from the start, while Eagle Drive was two paved lanes until the mid-2000s.

Because so much traffic from Towne Lake now uses I-575 to cut down one exit to

freeway
, allowing westbound drivers two left-turn lanes to enter the freeway southbound, and removed north bound turn lane on the west bound side, among other upgrades.

There was never a lake known as "Towne Lake". The name comes from the community's geographic proximity to the town of Woodstock and to Lake Allatoona. Its southeast portion is within the city of Woodstock, while the remainder is in the

demolished
for more businesses.

Towne Lake is the home of Hobgood Park, the largest recreational

public park in Cherokee County. Towne Lake is also well known for its two golf courses. Eagle Watch Golf Club has an 18-hole, par 72 course designed by Arnold Palmer. It is part of Canongate Golf Clubs, a group of private and semi-private golf clubs unified by a single membership which includes access to 26 golf courses at 23 different clubs across central and north Georgia. Towne Lake Hills is an 18-hole, par 72 course built in 1994 by Arthur Hills
.
