Description
Beautiful lake Seminole at Three River State Park.
Where the Flint River, Chattahoochee River and Apalachicola River meet creates the expansive stretch of water known as Lake Seminole.
The lake is a spectacular 37,500 acres and borders Florida, Georgia and Alabama. The name was chosen due to the fact that the Seminole Native Americans lived in the area thousands of years ago.
Since this lake is manmade, it has quite a unique history. At the bottom of the lake lies the remains of Fort Scott, a fort built in 1816 to defend the border from the Spanish. Use for the fort ceased in 1821 when Florida became a U.S. territory, and was thus abandoned. The lake was filled 1958 by the Army Corps of Engineers after the construction of the Jim Woodruff Dam.
