Alatoona Lake is a man-made reservoir located in the northwestern part of the state of Georgia in the United States. The lake was created by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in 1955 as a result of the Allatoona Dam construction on the Etowah River. The primary purpose of the lake is to control flooding, generate hydroelectric power, and provide recreational opportunities for the surrounding communities.

Alatoona Lake is known for its clear blue water and its picturesque surroundings. The lake is a popular destination for outdoor activities such as boating, fishing, camping, hiking, and picnicking. The lake is also known for its rich history, including its role in the Civil War, where it served as a major transportation hub for Confederate troops.

The lake is home to a variety of fish species, including bass, crappie, catfish, and sunfish. The lake's ecosystem also supports a diverse range of wildlife, such as deer, raccoons, otters, and numerous bird species.

Interesting facts about Alatoona Lake include that it is the second-largest lake in Georgia, covering over 12,000 acres and having over 270 miles of shoreline. The lake's Allatoona Pass Battlefield, which is part of the Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park, was the site of a major Civil War battle. Additionally, the lake was named after the town of Allatoona, which was flooded during the lake's creation, and its former residents were relocated to nearby communities.
