Amenities

The Association owns the amenities offered by the community, which are centered around its namesake lake (a private 563-acre (2.28 km2) lake). The lake is large enough for skiing, tubing, and other controlled boating activities, though wake boats must disable their ballast system to prevent damage to private boat docks and sea walls. Fishing is permitted and abundant fish reside in the lake; the Lake Kiowa Anglers and Conservation Club maintains the small and large fishing areas provided.

In addition, the Association also operates a private 18-hole golf course. Two different beach areas offer swimming, volleyball, tennis, and other opportunities. Each beach has picnic areas and a large pavilion is located at the Lodge (the community clubhouse and restaurant/bar). A nine-hole disc golf course is also available.
