Overview
A brief introduction to Lake Seminole
The Lake Seminole project, originally authorized as the Jim Woodruff Lock & Dam Project by the River and Harbor Act of 1946, was the first of three locks and dams constructed for navigation, hydro-power, recreation and related use purposes on the Apalachicola, Chattahoochee, and Flint River systems. Construction of this muti-purpose project began in 1947 and was completed in 1957. Lake Seminole borders both Georgia and Florida and has 37,500 acres of water and over 18,000 acres of surrounding land.
Lake Seminole is a reservoir located in the southwest corner of Georgia along its border with Florida, maintained by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The Chattahoochee and Flint rivers join in the lake, before flowing from the Jim Woodruff Lock and Dam, which impounds the lake, as the Apalachicola River. The lake contains 37,500 acres (152 km2) of water, and has a shoreline of 376 mi (605 km). The fish in Lake Seminole include largemouth bass, crappie, chain pickerel, catfish, striped bass and other species. American alligators, snakes and various waterfowl are also present in the lake, which is known for its goose hunting.

Reviews
Camper reviews for Lake Seminole
Quiet COE Park with AMAZING sunsets!
We think of EastBank as home base! The lakefront park has 3 loops... 2 on the water and one up top against the forest. There are 2 bath houses centrally located but a hike away if you're on the outer edge. Tents and huge A class rigs all get along here! C Loop is our favorite as most of the sites are of moderate size and paved. Each site has a picnic table, in ground pit/grill, and a heavy duty prep table. As with most Core of Engineer parks, they have strict rules which keep it safe, quiet and relaxing. If a group gets too rowdy, expect the hosts to reign it in.
There is a nice walking path to the Federal Dam just around the corner and walking around the loop will give you just enough activity to keep you feeling good on vaca. There are open fields and a net for outdoor games plus a group shelter with grills for lunch. But the star of the show are the sunsets!
You'll have adequate cell signal and get a few antenna channels, but just bring a book and relax!
