Most of the area around Lake Sinclair is considered rural. The pace is slow and easy. The lake is surrounded by 3 counties. These are Baldwin, Hancock and Putnam. The largest city closest to the lake is the small college town of Milledgeville. The population of the area is an estimated 80,000 - 100,000. The lake area is serviced by a number of very good highways and interstates. The lake area is within a 3 hour drive from either the Appalachian Mountains or the Atlantic Ocean.
 
Currently, there is limited commercial development on the lake. There are several marinas, some full service and some with restaurants. It might be safe to assume more commercial and residential development is on the way as the number of full-time lake residents increases. Don't be afraid, there is plenty to do for entertainment.
 
For golfers, there is a very nice, affordable country club with property on the water. The Milledgeville country club offers an excellent 18 hole course, tennis courts, pool and restaurant. There are several public & private golf courses in the area.
