West Point Lake

The construction of West Point Dam was authorized by The Flood Control Act of 1962 for flood control, hydroelectric power, navigation, fish and wildlife development, and general recreation. West Point Dam controls flooding of the river by managing seasonal variations on the Apalachicola-Chattahoochee-Flint Waterway, running 260 river miles from Apalachicola, Florida to Columbus, Georgia. The powerhouse's three generators produce enough power yearly to serve 24,000 homes.
