Fall on Lake Oconee takes on an idyllic quality —fall brings lower temperatures, breezy evenings and water dappled by the rays of the autumn sun. It’s still warm enough to take to the water, but cool enough to enjoy so much more. Fall in the south means something else special too... it’s football season! Whether you want to keep up with your alma mater, favorite college team, or beloved pro football team, there are plenty of places around Lake Oconee to kick back and watch the game. We're a short drive to Athens, Georgia, so you can grab your favorite tailgate snacks here and then head out to watch the Dawgs play!
