Morgan Falls Dam, Hydroelectric dam in Sandy Springs, United States.
Morgan Falls Dam spans a significant stretch of the Chattahoochee River and creates an expansive reservoir behind it. The concrete structure controls water flow and serves the surrounding region's power needs.
The dam was completed in 1904 to supply power for Atlanta's expanding streetcar system. This early hydroelectric project helped fuel the city's rapid growth and modernization.
The area draws people interested in observing birds and documenting nature through photography. The wetlands surrounding the dam attract waterfowl and other wildlife that visitors regularly explore and record.
The area around the dam can be explored on foot and offers good access for most visitors. Check conditions before visiting as water levels and weather can affect accessibility.
The project transformed former rapids into a new wetland ecosystem where beavers, muskrats, and frogs now make their home. This unexpected wildlife benefit is something many visitors do not realize when they first arrive.
