Walter F. George Dam
The Walter F. George Dam is a significant earth-filled dam located on the Chattahoochee River in Georgia, USA. Completed in 1957, it was built primarily for flood control, hydroelectric power generation, and recreation. The dam creates the Lake Eufaula reservoir, which spans over 45,000 acres and provides various recreational opportunities, including fishing and boating.
Named after Walter F. George, a former U.S. Senator from Georgia, the dam plays a crucial role in managing water resources in the region. It is operated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and contributes to local economies through tourism and outdoor activities.
