Lake Nottely is located in Union County northwest of the town of Blairsville, Georgia. The quaint mountain lake has clear deep water and an abundant striper population. Hundreds of private residential home sites are located along the shoreline but the recreation area is open to the public and features a beach and camping area which is a great place for viewing wildlife.
Lake Nottely, a TVA lake, is used for power generation and flood control. The water level in Nottely Reservoir varies about 32 feet in a normal year. The lake is bordered by the Chattahoochee National Forest, which adds to the beautiful scenery. For the fisherman in family, Lake Nottely is known for its black and striped bass, walleye, and rainbow trout. The lake also has several shores, which are perfect for swimming and lounging around on a sunny day.
Lake Winfield Scott
Completed in 1942, Lake Winfield Scott is the lasting legacy of the Civilian Conservation Corps in North Georgia. Named for General Winfield Scott, who led the United States Army for forty years and ran for President in 1852. This beautiful setting features campsites, fishing, and some of the best hiking in the eastern United States, including two Appalachian Trail access trails.
The 18-acre lake that is the centerpiece of the park is the headwater of Cooper Creek, which winds from the lake to the Toccoa River. Two roads provide access to the park, although one (the north entrance) is only for lake access. The other allows access to the summer home area, hiking trails, and lakeshore facilities including a boat launch, dock and swimming area. A modest fee is required.
Campsites are large and wooded. Each has a picnic table, grill, and fire ring. The 36 sites are divided into two areas.
