Description
An old white barn on the Boswell farm in Greene County, GA near Greensboro and Lake Oconee.
Greene County, Georgia lies approximately one (1) hour from Athens, Atlanta and Macon. This area is known for its lush green beauty. Greensboro offers fishing, swimming, boating, beautiful golf courses, and is home to one of America's 20 Hottest Bass Lakes, Lake Oconee.
Lake Oconee is Georgia�s second largest lake and serves as a reservoir for Georgia Power Company's Wallace Hydroelectric Plant. The lake has 374 miles of shoreline with a surface area of 18,971 acres. It is formed by the Oconee and Appalachee Rivers. The lake's height is only 120 feet.
Lake Oconee was formed in 1979 with the completion of Wallace Dam, impounding the waters of the Oconee and Appalachee Rivers. The lake is owned and managed by the Georgia Power company for the purpose of generating hydroelecric power.
The lake was originally rural in nature, a destination for fisherman and nature-lovers, but has become much more important in recent years as a rapidly growing community of luxury home neighborhoods. Lake Oconee is home to some of the most prestigious gated neighborhoods in the southeastern United States
