Georgia

So Much to See

There is tremendous variety among Georgia's forty-odd lakes.

Many offer dramatic shorelines and mountainous backdrops, while others feature great expanses of open water.

Fine Fishing, Folks

Georgia is home to hundreds of prime fishing holes.

Twenty-five-pound bass have been caught on Lake Seminole, and Lake Lanier is stocked with walleye.

The public maintains many lakes through the Army Corps of Engineers, Georgia Power, and the Tennessee Valley Authority.

Georgia's lakes are well-taken care of to ensure visitors and residents get the best lake experience.

Within Driving Distance of Town

The vast majority of Georgia's population lives only minutes from the lake. Big Canoe is less than an hour from Atlanta in the Blue Ridge Mountains.

Or lake lovers can visit High Falls Lake, just 45 minutes from Macon.

The state's tens of thousands of miles of shoreline along its lakes offer almost unlimited opportunities for weekend lake enthusiasts and empty-nesters.

Lakes of All Shapes and Sizes

Georgia is home to enormous public bodies of water like 71,000 acre Clarks Hill Lake and 56,000 acre Lake Hartwell.

Lake Lanier welcomes more than 7.5 million visitors each year on its 38,000 acres.

But if grandeur is not what you seek, much smaller lakes can be found here, too.

For instance, the state's self-proclaimed "cleanest" lake, Lake Tara, covers less than 400 acres of surface area.

Your Home, Your Happy Place

Georgia Lakes offers a fantastic variety of scenic waterfront real estate.

Find lake home property on inlets hidden among the Blue Ridge Mountains or on expansive water bodies that lead to the Atlantic Ocean.

Are you seeking a second home for a weekend respite, a dependable cottage rental, or a retirement community with various amenities?

For any style of living, there's a piece of land on a Georgia lake for you.
