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.

Every now and then, a legend is born. On a cool day in November of 1958 when Michael Dale Jordan entered the world, that’s what happened. If Mike was around to hear that statement, he would humbly try to disagree. Unfortunately, but thankfully, in the fall of 2015, he went to be with our Lord.…
One of the first articles I ever wrote was more than a decade ago and was about a small, 170-acre public lake named Lake Mayers near Baxley. Before the trip I had never met him, but during the day on the water, I began a life-long friendship with Tommy Davis and his family. Tommy fishes…
