It has access to Highway 218, utilities, and lake frontage. McDowell Lake is private and only accessible to the homeowner association members. This pristine lake is stocked with crappie, bass, and sunfish. Boats with electric trolling motors are permitted on the lake.When the owner built the lakes, he had Rathbun Water, electricity, and natural gas service installed around the lake, so utilities are in place.
