Lake Tomahawk Park is a public park in the Town of Black Mountain.
Lake Tomahawk is a 4.5 acre lake, surrounded by a .55 mile walking path. Fishing is allowed with NC Fishing Permits, and a fishing dock is provided for individuals with disabilities. There is also a Yacht club launch, and passenger boats without motors are allowed on the lake. Swimming is not encouraged, as this is a shallow lake that allows fishing.

There are two lighted tennis courts, one horseshoe court, a gazebo, and an outdoor swimming pool. An open area serves an an amphitheater for outdoor music concerts in the summer.
Also located at Lake Tomahawk is the Lakeview Center for Active Aging. The center is a 4500 square foot, two-story building used as an activity center for older adults. The facility includes a kitchen, meeting area, and restrooms, and is frequently used for community meetings and rented out for private events during evenings and weekends.
