๐Ÿ’ฌ About Lake Oconee

Lake Oconee is the crown jewel of Putnam County and one of the most beautiful lakes in all of Georgia. Stretching across 19,000 acres on the Oconee River, the lake was created by Georgia Power in 1979 and has since developed into one of the Southeast's premier recreational and resort destinations. The waters are renowned for their clarity and excellent bass fishing, and the lake hosts tournaments throughout the year. Reynolds Lake Oconee, the area's signature resort community, features multiple championship golf courses designed by legends including Jack Nicklaus and Tom Fazio, along with world-class dining, spa services, and accommodations. Whether you're a day visitor or a full-time resident, Lake Oconee defines the Lake Country lifestyle.
