Factoid: The Lake Seminole project, originally authorized as the Jim Woodruff Lock & Dam Project by
the River and Harbor Act of 1946, was the first of three locks and dams constructed for
navigation, hydropower, recreation and related use purposes on the Apalachicola,
Chattahoochee, and Flint River systems. Construction of this multipurpose project began in
1947 and was completed in 1957. Lake Seminole borders both Georgia and Florida and has
37,500 acres of water and over 18,000 acres of surrounding land. Lake Seminole offers
opportunities for boating, fishing, camping and picnicking at parks and campgrounds
situated around the lake. The lake boasts some of the best fishing and the best sunsets in
the area.
