Description
Part of the Oconee National Forest Road system used by hunters or who ever wants to see these beautiful parts of Georgia and our world. Lake Oconee was formed in 1979 with the completion of Wallace Dam, impounding the waters of the Oconee and Appalachee Rivers. The lake is owned and managed by the Georgia Power company for the purpose of generating hydroelecric power.
The lake was originally rural in nature, a destination for fisherman and nature-lovers, but has become much more important in recent years as a rapidly growing community of luxury home neighborhoods. Lake Oconee is home to some of the most prestigious gated neighborhoods in the southeastern United States
Lake Oconee is Georgia’s second largest lake and serves as a reservoir for Georgia Power Company's Wallace Hydroelectric Plant. The lake has 374 miles of shoreline with a surface area of 18,971 acres. It is formed by the Oconee and Appalachee Rivers. The lake's height is only 120 feet.
