Morgan Falls Dam, Hydroelectric dam in Sandy Springs, United States.

Morgan Falls Dam extends 1031 feet across the Chattahoochee River, creating Bull Sluice Lake with its 56-foot-high concrete structure.

Georgia Power constructed the dam in 1904 to generate electricity for Atlanta's expanding streetcar network, marking a major advancement in regional infrastructure.

The dam area functions as a gathering point for nature enthusiasts who document the diverse bird species and wildlife in the surrounding wetlands.

The facility generates 16,800 kilowatts of hydroelectric power, providing electricity to approximately 4,400 residences in the Atlanta metropolitan region.

The construction transformed a section of rapids into wetlands, creating new habitats for beavers, muskrats, waterfowl, and numerous amphibian species.
