Guide To Fishing At Lake Oliver
AKA: Oliver Reservoir

The North Highlands Dam, on the famous Chattahoochee River creates Lake Oliver, a 2,150-acre reservoir on the AL/GA border immediately northwest of Columbus. More than half of the 40 miles of shoreline is on the Georgia side.
Areas upriver from housing developments, the city marina, North Highlands Recreation Area and Goat Rock Recreation Area all offer places for fishing from the bank. Largemouth bass, crappie, bream and catfish are favorites here, plus there are plenty of sunfish and hybrid stripers to pursue. Several boat ramps allow for launching of boats, with no horsepower limits.
