ABOUT THE LAKE

Chatuge is a beautiful clear water lake surrounded by mountains of both Georgia and North Carolina. The sprawling fingers with many islands and coves cover 9000 acres and have 200 miles of shoreline. A great majority of the lake borders national forest or is owned by Tennessee Valley Authority and is undeveloped. Chatuge is known to have good bass fishing and is regularly stocked. Large Canadian geese can often be seen in the spectacular rural and mountain scenery.
