From Wikipedia
The Walter F. George Lake, named for Walter F. George (1878–1957), a United States senator from Georgia, is formed on the Chattahoochee River along the state line between Alabama and Georgia. It is also widely known by the name, Lake Eufaula – particularly in Alabama, where the state legislature passed a resolution on June 25, 1963, to give the lake that name. The 46,000 acres (190 km2) lake extends north about 85 miles (140 km) from the Walter F. George Lock and Dam and has approximately 640 miles (1,030 km) of shoreline. Popular activities along the lake include camping and trophy fishing.
