Walter F. George Lock and Dam

Lake Walter F. George occupies an impressive 85 miles of the Chattahoochee River, separating Alabama and Georgia with 48,000 acres of freshwater perfect for boating, fishing, skiing and swimming. Also, with 640 miles of shoreline, 13 Corps of Engineers day-use parks and four adjoining campgrounds, the lake is an ideal place for camping, outdoor and water-related activities. Each year, the power plant generates enough electricity to serve 56,000 homes. The lock, a focal point of commercial and pleasure craft traffic, with a lift of 88 feet, is the second highest east of the Mississippi.
