Situated beside Lake James State Park and the Old Wildlife Club development, the 1780 neighborhood was established by the nationally-recognized real estate developer Crescent Communities. Carefully designed and executed according to the area’s terrain, 1780 offers the closest access to the Paddy's Creek area of Lake James State Park which features a 700-ft mountain beach with sandy shores, protected swimming area, and pavillion with restrooms and concession stand (when in season).
Lake James boasts over 25 miles of hiking trails (15 of which are also open to mountain biking) with 8 trails ranging from easy to moderate, spread out over two sections of the park—the Paddy’s Creek Area and the Catawba River Area. If you’re interested in walking out of your vacation home and instantly being part of a 2,800-acre state park, this is the perfect community for you!
