There’s a reason a morning on the trail or an afternoon on the water leaves you feeling like a better version of yourself. Nature does that. At WindRiver, we’ve built a life around it — and then backed it up with a clubhouse designed to keep you feeling as good as the lake makes you look.
Every season paints the trails of Tellico’s eastern shore a little differently – even winter has its own quiet magic. There are 30 miles and 28 bridges out there waiting (extra credit if you cross them all). Gentle, wooded paths trace the lake’s edge, streams ripple alongside you, and birdsong is the only soundtrack. This is where you come to exhale. Bring the binoculars.
Lushly landscaped, lake views around every bend, and roads so smooth and quiet they practically beg for two wheels. Fat-tire cruiser, feather-light road bike, or something electrified – there's a loop calling your name, whether you want a quick jaunt or a full 30-mile spin.
Whether you're deep in the trees, paddling into a hidden inlet, or teeing off with a mountain view – this is the kind of place that feels like home the moment you arrive. Especially with your favorite people. Two legs or four.
Literally and otherwise. Out here, you'll run into neighbors on two legs and four, at every hour, in every season. You'll get to know these woods the way Thoreau knew Walden. Joy, as it turns out, really is afoot.
WindRiver sits right in the middle of the East Lakeshore Trail System – one of the region’s best-kept secrets. Part of the East Lakeshore National Recreation Trail — built and kept by volunteers on TVA shoreline since 2003. Lake views, mountain views, golf-course views, birdsong, and native foliage around every turn. It’s not just a trail system. It’s an adventure that starts at your front door.
A lakeside, master-planned community on Tellico Lake — championship golf, a full marina and 30 miles of trails, minutes from Knoxville.
