| Lake
Oconee is a 19,000 acre lake with
375 miles of beautiful shoreline,
making it the second largest lake in
the state of Georgia. It is bordered
by three counties, including Morgan,
Greene, and Putnam Counties. Lake
Oconee is formed by the Apalachee
and Oconee Rivers, neither of which
pass through industrial cities,
making Lake Oconee an
environmentally safe body of water.

Lake Oconee was built by Georgia Power in
1979 and its shoreline serves as a
wildlife refuge. While enjoying an
evening boat ride, it is not
uncommon to see deer, geese, turkey,
or squirrels roaming along the
shoreline. Considered the best
fishing lake in the southeast, Lake
Oconee has more than 350 pounds of
fish per acre. But wildlife and
fishing are not the only activities
you can enjoy.

 |
Boating,
skiing, swimming, golf, and tennis
are just a few activities that can
be enjoyed in the area. A constant
water level allows for permanent
docks and year around boating. In
addition, Lake Oconee is home to
four country-club communities, each
with its own Championship Golf
Course designed by such greats as
Jack Nicklaus and Bob Cupp. Each of
the four gated communities also
offer tennis with lighted courts. In
addition, horseback riding, arena
polo, and croquet can also be
enjoyed in the area. |
| No
matter what your lifestyle, there is
a haven for you at Lake Oconee. You
can choose one of the lavish gated
communities or live in a smaller
subdivision surrounding the lake.
You may wish to buy a farm or
acreage in Morgan County or purchase
one of the beautiful pre-Civil War
homes in Madison, the town that
Sherman didn’t burn! Regardless of
your tastes, you will enjoy the
serenity and relaxation that the
Lake Oconee area has to offer. At
the same time, you will not be far
from major cities such as Atlanta,
Conyers, Athens, and Augusta. |
