Life at Overland Lakes
Overland Lakes is a developer portfolio founded in 1970, not one lake with a single town, county or boating policy. Its history groups Morning Star, Bucktail, Sundance and Heron Point near Clarks within Summerwood; Turtle Beach and Willow Bend lie southeast of Central City, while Thunderbird lies south of Silver Creek. The historical seven properties total 296 lots across Merrick, Polk and Hamilton counties, not a current all-portfolio home count.
Mariposa is the later eighth development and differs from the older portfolio: its developer describes a 190-acre resort with 62 water acres, lake and Old Glory Pond frontage, 61 lake/pond lots, 10 off-water access lots, three beaches and four miles of paths. Those features belong to Mariposa only. This remains one Overland Lakes overview page; Summerwood is also covered on its own page without summing overlapping lots or transferring one lake’s fees and sport permissions to the others.
