Traditionally water ski lakes have been designed for tournament skiing. The current trend, as demonstrated by Shadow Lake Estates, is towards larger lakes that allow for water skiing and active recreation for the entire family. The lake at Shadow Lake Estates is four times larger than a typical tournament lake, allowing easy access at any time.

The variety of lake activities include not only water skiing and wakeboarding, but also fishing and swimming. The lake has been stocked with over 10,000 fish including bass, bluegill, catfish and sunfish. Windsurfing and sport sailing is allowed on windy days.
