Lake Acworth is a 260-acre (110 ha) [1] artificial lake southwest of the city of Acworth, Georgia. It is in the extreme northwestern part of Cobb County. The lake impounds (not the same as in nearby Atlanta), and outflows into Lake Allatoona.[2] The low dam is at the point where State Route 92 (Lake Acworth Drive) crosses.
