Rereg Dam Day Use Area Shelter

About

Rereg Dam Day Use Area Shelter is part of the Reregulation Dam Day Use Area, situated below Carters Lake on both sides of the Coosawattee River in the Blue Ridge Mountain foothills of north Georgia. The area is managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and offers a reservable group shelter (CL-46) that seats up to 100 people, with parking for 50 vehicles. This is a day-use facility, not a campground. Overnight camping is not permitted. The area features picnic sites, restrooms, fishing piers, and direct water access to the Coosawattee River. The South Regulation Area includes an award-winning nature trail with an easy hiking rating suitable for all skill levels. Fishing is the primary activity here, with anglers targeting hybrid bass, striped bass, spotted bass, crappie, walleye, bream, and catfish. The nearby cities of Ellijay and Chatsworth are about 30 minutes away for restaurants, groceries, and fuel.
