Lake Acworth is a 90-acre (36 ha) [1] man-made lake located southwest of the city of Acworth, Georgia. It is located in the extreme northwestern part of Cobb County. The lake impounds Proctor Creek (not the same as Proctor Creek in nearby Atlanta), and outflows into Lake Allatoona.[2] The low dam is at the point where State Route 92 (Lake Acworth Drive) crosses. (34°03′30″N 84°41′35″W / 34.0584°N 84.693°W)
The city of Acworth operates Acworth Beach, a public beach and park along the northern shore of the lake. It was created by trucking white sand in and putting it over the rust-red clay soil common to the region. Swimming is roped off with floats for protection from the boaters.
