Lake Worth
Lake Worth, also known as Lake Chehaw, is a small reservoir at the confluence of the Flint River, Kinchafoonee Creek and Muckalee Creek. The concrete Flint River Dam was built in 1908 for hydroelectric generation and is owned by Georgia Power today. Lake Chehaw is very riverine and shallow with average depths of 17 feet. In winter, the lake is drawn down nearly 10 feet in anticipation of flooding spring rains. In the Flood of 1994, the lake overflowed its banks and the dam itself was underwater at one point.

From its smallest creeks to its heavy tailwater flows, the southern reach of the Appalachian Mountains is home to Georgia trout fishing. Embedded in these Southern mountains lies the Chattahoochee National Forest, a wide swath of forestland—more than 750,000 acres of pines and hardwoods—that pours out the cold, clean water Georgia trout require to survive.…
