Lake Allatoona, Reservoir near Acworth, United States.
Lake Allatoona spans across 12,010 acres with 270 miles of shoreline, reaching depths of 145 feet in northwestern Georgia.
The Allatoona Dam construction began in 1946, becoming operational in 1950 with a hydropower capacity of 85 megawatts for flood control.
