Located only 30 miles from Atlanta, Georgia, Allatoona
Lake is situated on the
Etowah River, a tributary of the Coosa River. The serene lake and
peaceful surroundings offer a respite
from the rush of city living.
Allatoona Lake is one of the most frequently visited Corps of Engineers lakes in the nation.
More than 6 million visitors each year enjoy picnicking
and swimming at our parks,
camping,
hunting,
fishing,
boating,
and observing wildlife along the beautiful shoreline.
Allatoona Dam impounds run-off water from 1,110 square
miles into the Lake.
For an unequalled view of the dam, we recommend a visit to
the Operations Project Management Office and Visitor Center which is open Monday
through Friday, 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM except holidays. The Visitor Center
features video exhibits and displays about the area's history, ranging
from the time of early Indians to the gold mining and iron making days,
from the Civil War up to the present. Also, to learn how the lake is
harnessed for power, be sure to see the animated cutaway drawing of the
dam in the Visitor Center at the
Operations Project Management Office.
