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.

Since GON is a hunting and fishing publication, we’re going to stick to the bass-fishing topics today. Living just minutes away from Florence Marina on the north end…
“Look at that,” said Joffer, motioning toward the screen of his graph. “That’s what I like to see — it looks like spaghetti.” His Lowrance color graph showed a jumble of string-like arches just off the bottom in 38 feet of water. “There,” he said, “That’s my spoon,” he said, indicating a descending blip on…
