Lake Seminole is a reservoir located in the southwest corner of Georgia along its border with Florida, maintained by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
[2][N 1] Authorized by the United States Congress in the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1946 as the Jim Woodruff Lock and Dam Project,[4] construction began the following year.
[13][14] Used by both Marcos Delgado and Don Laureano de Torres y Ayala on their expeditions,[14] the mission was attacked by Alibamu warriors in 1696,[14] then later by English forces led by Colonel James Moore during Queen Anne's War and abandoned.
The area around the site was flooded due to the creation of the lake, thus the land which the fort resided became an island.
Lake Seminole is known for its large bass fishing during the summer and duck hunting in the early winter.
