  Lake emfred  
Formed by an ox-bow of the Tchefuncte River, Lake Emfred is one of the many treasures found within Tchefuncta Club Estates. The lake was named Emfred to honor EMma and AlFRED Suter the original owners of the land that is now the Estates. The lake forms a natural harbor with a seven-foot channel into the Tchenfucte River. Because it is privately owned by TCE, the use of Lake Emfred is reserved solely for the homeowners of the Estates.

Shaded by cypress and pines Lake Emfred provides many ways for Estates residents to enjoy the natural beauty of the surroundings. In the park area near the lake, parents and children gather to romp on the playground equipment. A picnic and bbq area along the shoreline offers beautiful views to be enjoyed while eating. The boat launch in the park provides access to lovely Lake Emfred, the Tchefuncte river, Lake Ponchartrain and wherever the wind and water may take you.
 
  equestrian  
Since the earliest days of Tchefuncta Club Estates, horses and horseback riding have been a part of this unique community. The original “Red Barn” stood as a symbol of what makes the Estates such a special place to live. It was home to over 20 horses and hosted many horse shows, dances, picnics and parties. When the structure was destroyed by fire, in 2006, the residents of TCE immediately began planning for a new barn to replace the long-standing landmark and resource.

Plans are being finalized for a new high quality barn. The site plans include a riding rink and new pasture areas. This new and improved version of the beloved red barn will ensure first class grazing for the equine residents of Tchefuncta Club Estates and an opportunity for residents to once again enjoy this pastoral view of life.
