Three Oaks Recreation Area

The Vulcan Materials Company began mining operations at the property known as Vulcan Lakes in the 1950's. Realizing the potential for a future recreation area, the City entered into an agreement with Vulcan Materials in the 1990's for the future ownership of the property. In 2007, the 462-acre property was officially deeded to the City. Through the dedication of elected officials, the Vulcan Lakes Advisory Committee and City Staff, the recreation area will soon become a reality.

Once the City completes the improvements in 2010, Three Oaks Recreation Area will offer the public an unparalleled recreational experience. The pristine waters of Three Oaks Recreation Area will be a prime venue for swimming, boating, hiking and fishing.
