Lake Chehaw, also known as Lake Worth, is a 1,400-acre lake on the Flint River at the north edge of Albany, where Kinchafoonee and Muckalee creeks join the river.
We rent MasterCraft wakesurf boats, Sea-Doo jet skis and water toys on Lake Chehaw, and everything is ready for you at the lake. Add a captained charter with lessons for every level.
Georgia Power's Flint River Dam holds it back, the water runs about 17 feet deep on average, and three public ramps get you onto the river and both creek arms.
