Lake Sinclair is a beautiful place. Over 15,000 acres and 417 miles of fabulous shoreline filled with fresh water fish including some incredible bass. Home to several annual fishing tournaments.
It is used for all types of recreation, people swim, boat, ski, jet ski, fish, picnic, sunbath on some of the beach areas. Power is also generated at both Lake Oconee's dam, Wallace Dam and and Sinclair's dam, Sinclair Dam. Lake Oconee is a holding reservoir to have additional waters to keep Lake Sinclair full pool even during times of drought. It is necessesary to keep Sinclair within 7 feet of full pool to pump back and forth between the lakes that is done daily. This is a benefit of buying on Sinclair over lake Oconee.
But since the power company actually owns the lake, they make the rules. You can sometimes have a boat house, dock, seawall, ect... it depends on the individual lot. Here are a copy of the rules.
Georgia Power Rules and Regulations for Lake Sinclair
Lake Oconee does not allow any boathouses. So there is another benefit of buying on Sinclair instead of Oconee. Of course prices are better on Lake Sinclair too.

Wonderful pics and great information. Best of luck to you.
Tammy, you are the most knowledgeable Realtor when it comes to Lake Sinclair real estate and community information.
Georgia Power owns the lake. It sounds strange and maybe even difficult, but I would think there are some benefits to this arrangement as well, right?
This is good information for local residents. I love the photos.
This is useful information fo rBuyers, thanks for the post.
Ed & Tracy Oliva thanks, it's a easly place to get great photos.
Rebecca Gaujot, the Go To Realtor® thanks, I appreciate that. I love the lake and it's been my home a long time.
Claude Labbe actually I'd say it's better and less complicated than the other kind in Georgia, those owned by the corps of engineers. Yikes at the crazy rules on those lakes. You can't even cut trees on those lots to open up and have a nice lake view without getting it blessed. Georgia Power is local people who also live in our community. And while the lake's main purpose now that the coal plant is gone is the power generation at the dams, they care about the recreation here and love the lake like the rest of us. I'd take private industry over government managment ANY day.
Gita Bantwal thanks on both fronts.
Donald Urschalitz folks new to the area or just finding Lake Sinclair should know about those rules, I try to write about them every 18 months or so. And so much changed when the power plant closed last year.
