History of Lake Russell
Richard
B. Russell dam and lake was originally called Trotters Shoals Lake when it was authorized for construction in 1966 as part
of the Flood Control Act. It was renamed later to Richard B. Russell lake after a late Senator from Georgia, Richard B. Russell.
The Army Corps of Engineers manage this lake. The authorized purposes of the lake are incidental flood control, recreation,
power production, water supply, fish and wildlife management and additional stream flow regulation.
Permanent filling
of the reservoir began in October 1983 and reached it's full pool in December of 1984. The lake measures 26,650 acres, has
540 miles of shoreline, and has an elevation of 475 msl (Mean Sea Level). The Corps owns 26,500 acres of public land around
the lake. Federal laws prohibit private exclusive use of the public land, leaving the area
strikingly beautiful and picturesque.
*Land transfer for new projects in Calhoun Falls has no effect on Russell
Lake's 300' Collar Zone. It will remain public property for you to enjoy-forever.. so have at it, it's yours Mr.and Mrs John
Q. Public.
600 More acres now added 2007 to development area.

Boat Docks
Private boat docks are not allowed on
the lake providing the visitor beautiful scenery as well as abundant wildlife. Who needs a dock after all? There are
two marinas on the lake, one at Beaver Dam Marina and one at Calhoun Falls State Park. The majority of boating on the lake
are bass and pontoon boats. Since boat traffic on Lake Russell is very light, skiing is a pleasure as wakes are not
an issue.
Water Levels
Many Corps
lakes are drawn down in the winter for flood control purposes. Since Strom Thurmond below Lake Russell and Hartwell above
takes care of flood control, Russell Lake is always managed to be close to it's full pool level making it a wonderful recreation
and scenery lake. Click the link for today's Russell Lake Level (Remember full pool is 475 msl). Maximum depth is 147 feet, and mean depth is 39.6 feet.
