Lake Burton
Lake Rabun
Built at the foot of one of the longest and deepest valleys in the Blue Ridge Mountains, Lake Rabun began filling in May of 1915 to form a reservoir of over ten million gallons covering 834 acres with a normal water level of 1690 feet above mean sea level. It was the first of six power producing lakes developed by the Georgia Railway and Power Company on the Tallulah and Tugalo rivers. As a Georgia Power Company facility, it now serves as a power source and a water supply for local communities, while providing recreational activities for all interested.
At 835-acres, Lake Rabun like Lake Burton and Lake Seed, is just a short drive from historic Clayton, Ga. The 835-acre lake has facilities for boating and fishing as well as camping and lodging. Nacoochee Park is just one of the recreation areas along Lake Rabun's 25 miles of shoreline. Located on the north end of the lake, Nacoochee Park is a great place to picnic or just relax.
Nacoochee Park
This recreation area is perfect for a picnic or fishing on a river-like setting. There is also a view of the Nacoochee dam and powerhouse. The park contains picnic facilities, restrooms, and a bank fishing area. It is located just off of Lake Rabun Road.
Lake Seed
Lake Seed, with its 13 miles of shoreline, has many recreational opportunities to offer. This 240-acre lake features swimming, boating, fishing, and primitive camping at Seed Campground. 1,724.5 feet above sea level.
Lake Seed was formed in 1927 with the completion of the Nacoochee Dam, a gravity concrete and masonry dam that is 75 feet high and spans 490 feet. The associated Nacoochee Hydroelectric Plant has a capacity of 4,800 kilowatts. Nacoochee is derived from the Cherokee word that means “evening star.”
