Lake Allatoona (rarely called Allatoona Lake, the name derived from a government dam project) is a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers lake in the northwestern Metropolitan Atlanta. Cartersville is the nearest large town. The lake was authorized by the Flood Control Acts of 1941 and 1946, and supplies much of the drinking water for the surrounding counties. The lake is popular for summer recreation activities. - Local Identifier:
