About Lake Burton
Lake Burton was created in 1919 by Georgia Power on the Tallulah River in Rabun County, about 2,800 acres and 105 feet deep with 62 miles of shoreline in the northeast Georgia mountains. The lake covers the old town of Burton; Clayton and the Chattahoochee National Forest surround it.

Why we cut this one
Lake Burton is one of the lakes people ask us for by name — the kind of shoreline where the house has a name and the dock has a history. This board is cut from the same depth grid the configurator uses for all 104,419 lakes, so the shape is the real one.Turn it in your hands
