Road Improvements (updated 7/31/25)

---

We are in progress of working with private property owners who own the  lots surrounding the waterfall area  and graciously allow our residents access to enjoy the waterfalls to restore its beauty after Hurricane  Helene devastation.  An estimate of  $15,000 was provided to cover the damage which includes: removal of 15 downed trees and their root base; and excavation of dirt out of creek bed to allow greater creek flow.  We would welcome donations to help offset the cost of the restoration project which is currently on hold at the present time. We are exploring government assistance as well. If you would like to make a donation toward restoring the waterfall area, please email us at ashelakepoa@gmail.com

The ALPO Board has surveyed the state of all platted roads within Ashe Lake, and have formulated a plan that considers road status as well as traffic volume.  We have contracted with Wolverine Excavation to focus on areas of significant problems; work is scheduled to be ongoing thru October.  Thru-traffic will be maintained, however delays may be unavoidable and will be minimized

We realize that the roads are a priority for all homeowners.  Road maintenance and up-keep is an ongoing issue with our old roads that are not paved, and scheduling of work is at the mercy of our unpredictable mountain weather. We believe that the current capital improvement plan will minimize requirements for ongoing road maintenance and will benefit all of Ashe Lake in the long run.  Thank you for your patience with our progress.

Please contact ALPO at ashelakepoa@gmail.com with your concerns, and to advise of any emergency road issues.

We have contracted with a beaver trapper and he is working on removing the beavers from the areas where they are causing the most damage.  If you see beaver activity or damage please let us know so we can pass it on.
