Founded in 1970, Lake Waynoka is a private, gated community surrounding a 300+ acre man made lake. Located outside Sardinia, Ohio in Brown County, it is a 45-minute drive east on Route 32 from Cincinnati, Ohio.
[edit] History
In 1970, American Reality Service Corporation of Memphis, Tennessee, began the development of Lake Waynoka by buying farm land, damming a local water route and dividing the land into lots roughly one-third of an acre in size. American Reality also created Lake Lorelei in Fayetteville, Ohio, as well as other lakes.
Over the years, Lake Waynoka has transitioned from a weekend and summer get-away spot, to a community of full time residents with a high rate of continued growth. Migration from Cincinnati, as well as Dayton, Ohio has helped continue this growth.
[edit] The Property Owners' Association
As a gated community, Lake Waynoka maintains its own roads, facilities and maintenance of the lake itself through annual membership fees paid to the controlling organization, Waynoka Property Owners Association, Inc. This body sets the rules and regulations and is composed of nine elected property owners in good standing.
