In 1985 the 1,200 property owners assumed<br />
control of Elkins Lake Recreation Corporation.<br />
Today, they continue to serve as the governing<br />
body. An elected board of directors, comprised<br />
entirely of property owners, determines the affairs<br />
and future of the community. After many years of<br />
member management, the Elkins Lake community<br />
was officially incorporated into the City of<br />
Huntsville through an annexation effort in 1994.<br />
Even though Elkins Lake is located within<br />
the city limits, most of the adjacent property is<br />
designated as National Forest and state park<br />
land. Because of these “protected borders,”<br />
Elkins Lake will always seem like the escape to<br />
nature that once drew Judge Elkins to the area.<br />
Today, it remains a society of good neighbors<br />
with amenities, activities, and enrichment for<br />
everyone. Often are the times, when residents<br />
come together as friends and neighbors to<br />
paint, play cards, exercise, and study—or, just<br />
to sit and visit.<br />
Judge Elkins would be proud to know that<br />
his original vision of building a place to live<br />
and relax, spend time with friends, have fun,<br />
and enjoy the beautiful, natural surroundings<br />
has been realized.<br />
