Lake Glenville
With access to 26 miles of secluded shoreline, guests can enjoy memorable days of fun and relaxation on Lake Glenville, the highest and largest lake East of the Mississippi and the crown jewel of the Cashiers/Highlands Plateau. The dramatic contrasts of the Blue Ridge Mountains soaring to breathtaking heights above a sparkling expanse of water that plunges to depths of over 100 feet make Lake Glenville a true mountain paradise. Rent a boat and cruise from one of Trillium's docks to discover cascading waterfalls or a postcard sunset. Hike or boat to sandy banks that line the shores, beckoning you to stop for some relaxing sunning and swimming. Water skiers will revel in thrills of gliding over clear, deep mountain waters, and fishing enthusiasts will enjoy the bounty of small and largemouth bass, walleye, trout and bream.
Golf
