This is a delightful area for folks who like lakes. Lake Zola is a lake close at hand, and a perfect close by hotel is Comfort Suites Lawrenceville. If you need a place to stay La Quinta Inn and Suites Snellville/Stone Mountain is a great choice; why not a little side spree to Pew Creek. Lake Matthews is a wet place that gets a large amount of rainfall; the month with most of the rain is March, and the driest of the months is October. This lake is so wonderful.

Simmons Lake

My father had a home in the Echo Lake subdivision in the 1960's and the way I remember what happened to Simmons Lake was that that after Lakeside High School was built the earthen dam that held back Simmons Lake broke and that was pretty much the end of the lake. It wasn't repaired. The small lake next to Briarcliff Road was a separate lake that was fed from Simmons lake and in turn fed Echo Lake. This small lake appears from an aerial photograph to have nearly silted in. The culvert under Briarcliff Road from the small lake to Echo Lake was a favorite haunt for chasing snakes and turtles. I remember Echo Lake being dredged in the 1960's. Back then there was little Echo Lake at the other end of Echo Lake and it no longer exists. Little Echo Lake had a concrete dam that failed a couple of times and I suppose was given up on. The homes in Echo Lake subdivision sold in the 20-25K range. This area was a perfect place for my brother and me to spend summers. Dad told me years later that he wouldn't see us until dinner time in the summer because we spent all day doing things around these la... |
