Living in Indian Trails.
A private, family-oriented lake community on Log Tavern Pond near Milford, Pennsylvania. Indian Trails keeps the low-key feel of its summer-camp beginnings, with a small number of houses, a clubhouse, and one quiet spring-fed lake at its center.
Indian Trail at a Glance - Community Amenities
Log Tavern Pond
The heart of the community is a roughly 90-acre, spring-fed lake of glacial origin, about 2.5 miles in circumference and about a mile across. It is a quiet body of water set among the trees, with the Cove, the lake's outlet, at the community's edge.
The Clubhouse
The clubhouse is the community's gathering place and where the annual membership meeting is held. Confirm current use, hours, and whether members can reserve it for events with the association.
Lake Access
Residents have lake access through the community. The specifics, including shoreline use, docks, and how access works for members and guests, are managed by the association, so confirm the current arrangement.
Camp Heritage
Indian Trails began as a summer camp. Camp Log Tavern's own history traces the camp to 1922, when it started as a tennis camp, and the community was founded by some of the original campers and staff. That heritage still shapes the community's low-key character.
Community-Run Governance
The community is governed by the Indian Trails Club Association, a community-run organization led by a volunteer Board of Directors. Bylaws, rules and regulations, and gate access forms are published on the association's website.
Quiet by Design
A relatively small number of houses means the community keeps a feeling of privacy and quiet. It is a low-key, family-oriented place where the lake and the woods around it set the pace.
Homes & Properties
Indian Trails is a smaller community on Log Tavern Pond, with homes set in a wooded environment that feels quieter and more low-key than some of the larger communities in the area. The community traces its roots to the former Camp Indian Trails, and homes vary in age, size, and style.
Indian Trails Club Association
For buyers who like the idea of a smaller community with access to the lake, Indian Trails offers a different feel from some of the area's larger amenity-focused communities. Its rules, roads, dues, lake access, and other community arrangements are all worth considering as you decide whether Indian Trails fits what you're looking for.
What Buyers Should Know
Buying in a private lake community is different from buying outside one. Beyond the house itself, you are buying into a shared lake, clubhouse, rules, and association, so it pays to understand them before you make an offer.
Membership and dues
Membership in the Indian Trails Club Association covers governance and access to the community. Dues amounts are not published on the community website, so confirm the current dues for the specific property with the association.
Bylaws and rules
The association publishes its Bylaws and its Rules and Regulations on its website. Both are worth reading before you buy, since they govern property use, rentals, and changes to homes and lots.
Rental policies
Rental policies are set by the association and can change. Verify the current policy directly with the Indian Trails Club Association (indiantrails.org) before relying on it.
Lake access and shared amenities
Log Tavern Pond and the clubhouse are shared community facilities managed by the association. Confirm how access works for residents, members, and their guests.
Gate access
The association manages gate access for the community and provides a gate access form on its website. Confirm how residents and visitors enter and how guest access works.
Resale documents
Ask for and review the community's resale and disclosure documents before purchasing, and have your own advisors review them as well.
A neighbor-run organization
Indian Trails is organized and run by its members through a volunteer Board of Directors rather than a large management company. Expect a hands-on, community-driven structure with communications through the association.
Utilities and property systems
Many homes in the surrounding Pike County area rely on private wells and septic systems. Confirm the specifics for the property you are considering with your agent and the seller.
