Information: The Walter F. George Lake, named for Walter F. George (1878–1957), a United States Senator from Georgia, is formed on the Chattahoochee River along the border between Alabama and Georgia. It is also widely known by the unofficial name, Lake Eufaula — particularly on the Alabama side. The lake extends north from the Walter F. George Lock and Dam (31°37′10″N 85°4′15″W) providing approximately 640 miles (1,030 km) of shoreline. Popular activities along the lake include camping and trophy fishing.
The lake is primarily controlled by the US Army Corp of Engineers, but there are several other protected lands along the lake including the Eufaula National Wildlife Refuge, Lakepoint State Park in Alabama, and Florence Marina and George T. Bagby State Parks in Georgia. The dam is approximately 30 miles (50 km) north of George W. Andrews Lock and Dam.
