"There are a lot of deer everywhere. No matter where you look or turn, your dog will see a deer which can make it hard to walk them. There are also a lot of cars which can be scary while walking your dog. "

"Our street is one of the better streets in Lake Mohawk. We have a fairly flat street. Kids play in the street because there is little traffic. Neighbors are friendly, and we are walking distance to the Lake with a beautiful beach and a lagoon. Boating is wonderful here."

"My family and I own a 2nd house here on Lake Mohawk. We live on Maple Parkway, which is a very calm and quiet street. The only downside is that if your house is 4-5 houses away from Beach 6, you can hear people."
