Chestatee

Chestatee straddles the Chestatee River in northern Georgia, where the river’s descent from the Blue Ridge foothills toward Lake Lanier has shaped a quiet, water-oriented setting. The Chestatee is a major tributary of Lake Lanier, the large reservoir formed when Buford Dam was completed in 1956. Wooded banks, coves and rolling ridges place the community in the lake country north of metropolitan Atlanta, with the higher Blue Ridge Mountains rising farther north. Managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Lake Lanier is central to the region’s water supply and recreation.
