A planned community developed between two manmade lakes, Lake Saint Louis was originally planned as a resort area in 1961. As investors came on board, the focus shifted to create a residential area instead. Today, Lake Saint Louis is an upscale community appealing to “baby boomers.” While the water atmosphere is forefront to the town’s recreational image, the Lake Saint Louis Community Association also offers an 18 hole golf course and two nine hole golf courses, swimming, tennis courts, beaches and riding stables. Lake Saint Louis also hosts the Lake Saint Louis Triathlon. There are three parks in existence, with two more in development.
