About Nottely Lake

Beautiful Lake Formed on the Nottely River

Nottely Lake was formed in Union County when the Nottely River was dammed.

This lake is under two hours from both Chattanooga and Atlanta, making it a convenient location for residents.

Acres Upon Acres of Natural Beauty

Nottely Lake covers almost 4,200 acres of surface area with over 100 miles of shoreline. 70 percent of its shoreline is protected by the United States Forest Service, making the majority of it undeveloped.

Nottely Lake is completely surrounded by the Chattahoochee National forest, as well as the Nantahala National Forest. With seemingly endless acres of nature, there are tons of fun outdoor activities to enjoy.

For those who love action sports, directly west of the lake is the Davenport Mountain OHV Trails, where visitors can take their four-wheelers, dirtbikes or ATVs for trailing and mudding.

Another popular activity at the lake is scuba diving. There is a rumor that if you dive to the bottom of the lake, you can find the remains of a city that was once flooded.

Fishing Galore

This lake attracts anglers from all over with its wide variety of fish, which includes bass, walleye and rainbow trout. The state of Georgia stocks the water frequently to maintain healthy population sizes.

Relax in the Wilderness

The best part about living on Nottely Lake is sitting back, relaxing and enjoying life surrounded by nature. So if you're looking for the perfect place to retire, or even just a weekend get away, look no further than Nottely Lake.
