Sitting northwest of Macon and south of Atlanta, High Falls Lake is a tranquil community for those looking to take a break from the city. This lake is 650-acres in size and falls in Butts County, Georgia.
Due to its relatively shallow depth, bass and catfish are easily caught by fishermen on this lake. Every March, the lake hosts the Forsythia Festival Crappie Tournament, but the locals consider High Falls Lake to be some of the best fishing for largemouth bass, hybrid, and striped bass, bream, and catfish.
Swimming is not allowed on this lake, but the state park nearby has a pool open.
Between the lake and the town of Jackson, sits the 1,050-acre High Falls State Park. Located mainly on the site of the former town of High Falls, this once prosperous community was abandoned after the new railroad bypassed the town in the 1880s. This state park has a wide variety of activities and amenities available, including boat rental, ramps, fishing docks, hiking trails, a spacious campground, mini-golf, and lakeside yurts.
Just to the west of High Falls Lake is the Piedmont National Wildlife Refuge. This refuge is perfect for those who enjoy observing animals in their natural habitats. Popular activities in the sanctuary are photography, bird-watching, hiking, hunting, and fishing.
Whether you are looking to buy a family home, a full-time retirement residence, or find a vacation rental, High Falls Lake is an excellent choice.

East of Interstate 75 just north of the Georgia town of Forsyth, High Falls Lake covers 650 acres in Butts, Monroe and Lamar counties northwest of Macon.
The lake is created by the Towliga River and gets its name from the river's 135-foot waterfalls, the highest falls in middle Georgia.
Between the lake and the town of Jackson, in Butts County, is the 1,050-acre High Falls State Park, located largely on the site of the former town of High Falls, a prosperous community for most of the 19th century that was abandoned after the new railroad bypassed the town in the 1880s.
The park's trails offer visitors scenic views of the river's famed waterfalls and the foundation of the old town's grist mill.
The lake is open to fishing during daylight hours only, and the operation of motors greater than ten horsepower is prohibited.
Every March the lake hosts the Forsythia Festival Crappie Tournament, but the locals consider High Falls Lake to be some of the best fishing for largemouth, hybrid and striped bass, as well as bream and catfish.
In addition to more than four miles of hiking trails, the state park near High Falls Lake has two boat ramps and fishing boat, canoe and kayak rentals.
There is no swimming allowed in the lake, but the state park's swimming pool is close by, as is the miniature golf course.
There are almost 100 traditional campsites, a pioneer campground, 25 paddle-in primitive sites, and six lakeside canvas-and-wood yurt structures, with decks, grills, furniture and electricity.
