About Carters Lake
Carters Lake, beautifully situated in the Blue Ridge Mountains, happens to be the deepest lake in Georgia with a maximum depth of 450 feet. Its area is around 5 square miles across Gilmer and Murray counties.
The area boasts stunning scenery and in addition to fishing, offers plenty of outdoor activities such as camping, boating, picnicking, and hiking. Cabin and boat rentals are available from the privately owned marina, while the remainder of the area is under the care of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Mobile District.
