The Walter F. George Lake (unofficially known as Lake Eufaula) is a lake formed on the Chattahoochee River along the border between Alabama and Georgia. The lake extends approximately 85 miles north of the Walter F. George Lock and Dam offering approximately 640 miles of shoreline. Popular activities along the lake include camping and trophy fishing.

The lake is primarily controlled by the US Army Corp of Engineers, but there are several other protected lands along the lake including the Eufaula National Wildlife Refuge, Lakepoint State Park in Alabama, and Florence Marina and George T. Bagby State Parks in Georgia.
