Mirror Lake, recently named Best Recreation Center of the Year by the Greater Houston Builders Association, and Phillips Lake, our two largest lakes, are inviting community watering holes, perfect for paddle boarding, fishing, and kayaking, and so much more. Smaller lakes dot the landscape as delightful backdrops for more passive outdoor pleasures like picnics, bird
