The United States Forest Service designated Apalachia Lake as a wilderness lake. This designation insures Lake Apalachia will remain much as it is forever. Our lake is also the only lake in the region that remains full throughout the winter and is never drawn down. Apalachia is a beautiful, 1,000 acre lake with over 70 miles of shoreline which is eighty percent owned by the United States Forest Service. These factors ensure that Apalachia Lake will remain close to pristine. Apalachia Lake is relatively undiscovered and boasts some of the most impressive scenery in the eastern United States. Giant trees, large waterfalls and abundant wildlife surround Apalachia Lake with mountains stretching to the horizon in every direction.

Lake Apalachia sits at the base of the Hiawassee Dam built by the TVA (Tennessee Valley Authority). Named a National Historic Mechanical Engineering Landmark and the largest of its kind in the world, this engineering marvel stands 307 ft. tall. The public access to Apalachia Lake located at the base of the dam is 10 miles from the estates making it secluded and quiet. Absolutely serene. Much of the quiet can be attributed to the fact that there are not any campgrounds on the lake.

Apalachia Lake’s stable waterline (unlike all the others in the area) makes for great casting under trees and brush, or trolling along the steep banks for rainbow and brown trout, bream, largemouth and smallmouth bass, and pike.

The regional climate is temperate with cool summers, brisk springs and falls and moderate winters. In the summer temps range from 70s-80s during the day to 60s and 50s at night. In winter the temperatures can drop to the 20 at night, but usually remain around the 40s and 50s during the day. There are few days when you can’t work outside in the winter.

The area is nearly crime free. You can take walks at night without worry. Children can play outside without fear. Enjoy the layd back lifestyle within driving range of excellent shopping. Atlanta, 2 hrs. Chattanooga, one and a half hrs. Murphy, 30 min.
