Lake Chatuge Recreation Area

Have been coming here for the past several years. We have a boat docked here year-round to enjoy.
The lovely Lake Chatuge is settled between two states and the two towns of Hiawassee, Georgia and Hayesville, North Carolina.
"This pristine lake has 132 miles of shoreline and is ideal for fishing, swimming, boating and camping. A part of the Nantahala National Forest in Clay County, North Carolina, it is one of the most scenic lakes in the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) water system. This pristine lake, exquisitely nestled between the Tusquitee Mountains. Visitors enjoy casual walks along the dam with its spectacular view of the lake and surrounding mountains. The lake has numerous outcrops of land forming numerous private coves that are for great fishing, swimming, boating, and water sports. The fishing is great with more than 32 species in the lake."

What an absolutely lovely Lake!! We spent a magical Memorial Day weekend here with wonderful friends. We can not wait to return. The lake is Crystal clear and has the most exquisite views of the Mountains. There are many lovely restaurants overlooking the Lakes and lots of boutiques and shops to explore. Everything is upscale and super clean.
