Lake Jackson
Lake Jackson, one of the earliest reservoirs in Georgia, was formed in 1910 when the Central Georgia Power Company completed a dam and hydroelectric plant at Lloyd Shoals on the Ocmulgee River. Lake Jackson covers approximately 4,750 acres and has 135 miles of shoreline. Its waters are fed by the South, Yellow, and Alcovy Rivers and by Tussahaw Creek. Lake Jackson is surrounded by Jasper, Newton and Butts Counties. There are several marinas on the lake and various services provided.
