LAKE WEDOWEE, ALABAMA


 

Lake Wedowee is rapidly becoming one of the most desirable lakes servicing the greater Atlanta market. Its clean clear waters, quiet settings, low boat traffic, and proximity to Atlanta and Birmingham has turned this lake into one of the most appealing second home markets in the southeast.

Lake Wedowee is formed by the Little Tallapoosa River coming out of western Georgia and the Big Tallapoosa River which begins in Alabama. It has approximately 280 miles of shoreline and covers over 11,000 acres of water.

It is conveniently located in the central eastern part of Alabama, in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains, approx 90 miles from Atlanta and Birmingham. Its location gives Lake Wedowee a mountain lake feel. It is a deep lake with average depths over 45 feet and the deepest parts over 125 feet deep.

The town of Wedowee has approx 900 people and gives you the feel you are stepping back in time. The slow pace and quiet atmosphere makes this a great escape from your day to day hassles back in the city.
