Lake Blackshear, Reservoir in southwest Georgia, United States
Lake Blackshear stretches across 8,700 acres with a maximum depth of 47 feet and features numerous cypress trees emerging from its waters.
The Crisp County Power Commission constructed the first county-owned power dam in the United States between 1925 and 1930 to create Lake Blackshear.
National bass fishing tournaments at Lake Blackshear gather competitors and spectators throughout the year, establishing it as a significant fishing destination.
The Lake Blackshear Resort and Golf Club provides lodging, dining facilities, meeting spaces, and an 18-hole golf course along the eastern shoreline.
Original trees from before the lake's creation remain submerged, creating specific fishing spots while requiring careful navigation from boaters.
