Wildcat Lake is in one of the most popular tourist destinations in the southeast. In recent years a swimming beach with lifeguards during the summer and a fishing pier were added for convenience. Wildcat Lake has been likened by many to an old fashioned swimming hole. With boating being limited to non-motorized vessels the lake remains quite peaceful. Hiking, horseback riding, and seasonal downhill skiing make Wildcat Lake a well-rounded location for sports enthusiasts. Nearby Tufts Park hosts a seasonal concert series and weekly Farmers Markets. Picnic facilities also make it a nice place to spend the day whether you are passing through or live close by.
