Randy Poynter Lake at Black Shoals
Located in historic north Rockdale, off of Black Shoals Road, Randy
Poynter Lake is a 650-acre impoundment designed to provide water for
the county's drinking water needs. A treatment plant is located down
stream, on Gees Mill Road, which has enabled Rockdale to eliminate its
need to purchase water from neighboring counties. |
