Thousand Acres is the most prominent terrain feature in the southern part of the Lake.  The property is approximately one and one-half miles square and includes over eight miles of lake shoreline. Surrounded on three sides by water, the property is dominated on its north side by the mile-long ridge of Little Snaggy Mountain, rising approximately 400 feet above the water. A saddle across the eastern end of Little Snaggy opens onto Sawmill Hollow, the site of a major sawmill in the late 1800’s. The southern portion of the property includes gently contoured woodlands, along with the springs and glades of several old family farms. Nestled in the center of the property is a long ridge that divides the rolling hollows and spring-fed streams of Poland Run from the southern shore.
