Future Plans for Blue Heron Village

Amenities

Immerse yourself in the peaceful rhythm of nature. Follow winding trails through wildflower meadows, over clear brooks, and across a rustic covered bridge, passing quiet ponds and a lively lake visited by migratory ducks and geese. Rest on one of the many benches tucked into the landscape—ideal for birdwatching, fishing, or simply enjoying the sunshine. And when you’re ready to explore the water, glide across the lake by kayak or boat.

Lake Information

Blue Heron Village is committed to preserving our beautiful lake for future generations! While we actively maintain its condition, we recognize that DEP dam management is outside our control. Like many lakes, its future largely depends on continued government approval. In any event we are committed to maintaining a beautiful natural environment for our residents and wildlife to enjoy.

Our Commitment

At Blue Heron Village, we remain fully committed to the long-term preservation of the lake and its natural beauty. Should the (PA DEP) determine that approval for maintaining the lake cannot be continued, our contingency plan is to thoughtfully re-envision the area as an alternative natural sanctuary. This would include a series of well-designed ponds, enhanced walking paths, and tranquil recreational spaces intended to preserve the environment and the quality of life our residents value. Although safeguarding the lake is our foremost priority, we believe the proposed ponds-and-trails concept represents a viable, aesthetically appealing, and environmentally responsible alternative. This ponds plan option would also require PA DEP approval; however, we are confident it provides a sustainable option. The conceptual alternative ponds plan may be viewed here. For questions or additional information, please contact the owner of Blue Heron Village at ivan@ontelbuilders.com. Please note: Boating and fishing are privileges reserved exclusively for residents of Blue Heron Village.
