West Point Lake

West Point Lake extends across 25,864 acres of water with 604 miles of shoreline, featuring rocky points and deep channels throughout the waterway.

The United States Army Corps of Engineers constructed the reservoir between 1965 and 1975, requiring 56,638 acres of land acquisition and extensive archaeological preservation.

The lake maintains designated areas for wildlife protection, including three management zones that serve as habitats for deer, waterfowl, and native bird species.

The reservoir provides public access through 36 parks, 2 marinas, and 7 campgrounds, with fishing licenses valid for both Georgia and Alabama residents.

The reservoir's water quality monitoring system, established in 1975, collects data on biological indicators, nutrients, and microbiological factors through multiple measurement stations.
