Description
This image was taken on Memorial Day at our water shed lake, Lake Townsend. This sailboat had been going around the lake for some time and it was so peaceful to watch it float across the water on a sunny day. The light on this lake was very special this day, and made for light and shadows playing on the water as well as the forest around the lake.
Lake Townsend, named in honor of James R. Townsend, City Manager of Greensboro from 1947-1961, is the largest of Greensboros municipal reservoirs. The lake encompasses 1,542 acres and is adjacent to the Bryan Park Complex and Golf Course off Highway 29 North. The lake was built and open for recreation in 1969. Lake Townsend offers boat and pier fishing, pleasure boating, and sailing. Popular fish include largemouth bass, hybrid bass, catfish, and crappie. Kayaks, rowboats, sailboats and one eight-person pontoon boat are available to rent. A large boat ramp is available for private boat launching, with another launch ramp for small sailboats.
