The private, 35feet deep lake, all-sports lake is spring fed and is entirely residential. It is located north of Scott Lake Rd. and west of Dixie Highway.
Scott Lake was named for Spencer Scott (1792-1872) who, in 1846, settled on the banks of the lake that would bear his family name. Scott came to the lake from his birthplace in Franklin, Sussex Co., New Jersey.[2]
