 Lake Oconee
Lake Oconee is a Georgia Power Company reservoir controlled by Wallace Dam since 1980 and used to generate hydroelectric power. It is the second largest lake in Georgia with 19,000 acres and 374 miles of protected wooded lake front and long lake views.
Greene, Putnam, Morgan, and Hancock Counties border Lake Oconee. The area is known for its fishing, wildlife, golf, and beautiful lakefront homes. We enjoy year round mild weather. Since the 1980s the area has grown to become one of the premier destinations in the country for golf, fishing, investments and retirement.
The area of both lakes include parts of The Oconee National Forest and it is not uncommon to see deer, wild turkey, Canada Geese, ducks, quail, pheasant, song birds, hawks, osprey, eagles, beaver, turtles, and herons. Because of their size and wildlife maintenance, Oconee and Sinclair are excellent fishing and boating lakes. The fish are plentiful and include several varieties of bass, catfish, crappie, shad, gar, and others.
The lake levels are constant year round, protecting the quality of boating, fishing, waterfront homes and lake views. We are only 90 miles, or an hour and a half, East of Atlanta and the Hartsfield/Jackson International Airport.
