#4 - Captain a Pontoon Boat on Lake Nottely

Lake Nottely is the perfect place to observe the native wildlife of Georgia. About 70 percent of the shoreline is U.S. Forest Service lands, making boating on the 4,180 acre lake a scenic treat. The lake was created by the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) and meanders 20 miles through Union County, Georgia to the town of Blairsville. It rests between the mountains of the Chattahoochee National Forest. Lake Nottely is also known for its diverse population of fish. The most common types are largemouth bass, spotted bass and crappie. There are also black and striped bass, walleye and rainbow trout. The state stocks the water to give anglers more opportunities. Bring a picnic, cool beverages and prepare for a glorious day on the water.
