Lake Blackshear

Lake Blackshear is one of southwest Georgia's premier fishing destinations for bass, crappie, bream, linesides and catfish. The reservoir on the Flint River was created by a dam completed in 1930. The 8,500-acre lake is approximately 20 miles long and varies in width, but is rarely more than one mile wide. The lake borders Crisp, Dooly, Lee, Sumter and Worth counties in southwest Georgia.
