Lakewood or Lee's Summit Lake...
With the draft over, the football front is slow again. So time for a random thread topic.
Lakewood/Lee's Summit Lake; do you know anyone who lives on the lake? How do they like it...? Thoughts? With my family being from Minnesota, I have always been drawn to those lakefront communities. There are very few within our metro region and I know little about this one. Just was looking for some stories. |
I've never lived there but grew up in the area. There are three other lake communities in the Lee's Summit area. Raintree, Winnebago and Lotawana.
Lakewood and Raintree do not allow you to have private docks. Lotawana and Winnebago do. I spent quite a bit of time at Lotawana as a kid as my parents had friends that lived there. Then my parents lived at Winnebago for a few years, so pretty familiar with that lake too. If it was me, I'd rather live at Lotawana or Winnebago. I will tell you that Lotawana is quite a bit older than the others and a lot of the houses there are up on hills or bluffs, making it more of a chore to get to the waters edge. Winnebago, Raintree and Loakewood are all "flatter" lots. |
You could also look into Prairie Lee Lake. It's just south of Lake Jacomo. There are very nice homes around it as well.

One other thing. I've never once heard Lakewood referred to as Lee's Summit Lake.
|
Any idea which of those (if any) are skiable?
Good thread idea. |

Also, I don't know about Lakewood or Raintree, but the others are good fishing lakes. |

Prairie Lee was what came to mind for me as well. I used to fish that lake when I was a kid. My grandfather had a friend that lived on Lotawana. Isn't there another one off of 40 Hwy between Independence and Blue Springs? Tapawingo or something?

I grew up in Lee's Summit, but I've never heard of Lee's Summit lake. Is that new?

Or you could come to the real lakes - Lake of the Ozarks or over at sauto's Truman Lake.
