Carters Lake, owned by the US Army Corps of Engineers, is a man-made lake without private docks or houses along its shore. [2] This lake is fed by the Coosawattee River that runs between Ellijay and Chatsworth, and was formed by Carters Dam , the tallest earthen dam east of the Mississippi, which was completed in 1977.
Below the dam is a 1,000-acre (400 ha) retention and re-regulation lake (Reregulation Reservoir). The hydroelectric plant is of the pumped storage type. That is, during off-peak hours the water from the retention lake is pumped back up to Carters Lake for use in generating power during the next time of peak demand.
In Murray County, the river is impounded by Carters Dam, forming Carters Lake behind the dam. (The lake is located mostly in Gilmer County). Completed in 1977, Carters Dam is the tallest earthen dam east of the Mississippi River. [3] The Coosawattee River leaves the dam flowing west (directly into the Reregulation Reservoir).
