Real estate on the lake can include properties selling for millions of dollars.[5][6]

In July 2016, a Piper PA-46 single-engine airplane crashed into Lake Down.[7][8] Two boaters rushed toward the sinking plane and rescued a father, age 46, and his daughter, age 9, from the wreckage.[7] The plane was salvaged from the lake the following week.[9][10]

In June 2021, the Orange County Sheriff's Office recovered the body of a 17-year-old jet skier who drowned in Lake Down.[11][12]
