Hidden Lake at Lake Oconee | Neighborhood Guide
Hidden Lake at Lake Oconee is a small subdivision in Putnam County, tucked off Lake Oconee Parkway in the middle of the lake’s commercial corridor. Most of its homes sit on interior lots of an acre or more, and a handful front a calm cove of Lake Oconee itself.
Hidden Lake is, yes, hidden, right in the middle of it all, and there is truth in its name. The neighborhood hides a small lake of its own, maybe a pond, but we won’t get technical, separated from Lake Oconee by only a thin strip of land.
That matters when you read a listing here. Some of Hidden Lake’s waterfront homes front that small lake rather than Lake Oconee, so make sure you know which water you are looking at.
