First Stop. The Water’s Edge.

One of the defining landmarks at Summers Corner is Buffalo Lake. Here, you’ll find an open-air lakeside pavilion with a broad deck and grassy area, as well as a fishing dock and a place to store and launch canoes and kayaks. It’s a great spot to gather with friends, or simply enjoy some quiet time by the water’s edge. But it’s more than that. It’s also a gateway of sorts to the freshwater lakes and natural open spaces that extend beyond the community — a constant reminder that life here is an adventure.

we’re sharing buffalo lake with bats. yes, bats. no, they’re not cute. or cuddly. but they are vital to our ecosystem, as a natural way to address the pesky mosquitoes that love the lowcountry. (fyi: one bat can eat over 1,200 mosquitoes in one hour!) we think that for all that work, they deserve a nice place to sleep.

we’ve taken lake activities to a whole new level. a lot of summers corner events happen at buffalo lake … like yoga by the lake, plein-air painting classes and a father’s day family fishing event! see all upcoming events.

did you know?

buffalo lake is 95 acres in size … that’s equal to about 90 football fields!
ospreys like to fish in the pond, too. although they don’t use a rod.
some of the fish you can catch in buffalo lake are: largemouth bass, crappie, bluegill and catfish.
