Hard Labor Creek Regional Reservoir is a 1,370-acre (550 ha) artificial reservoir in a region on the south-east side of unincorporated Walton County, Georgia, United States, near both Social Circle and Rutledge, about 40 miles (64 km) east of Atlanta. It features a Category I earthen dam constructed primarily for municipal water supply, with a secondary consideration of recreation, on Hard Labor Creek. The dam is approximately 1,950 feet (590 m) long, 460 feet (140 m) wide, and 94 feet (29 m) high, with a spillway crest elevation of 700 feet (210 m) above mean sea level (MSL).First proposed in 1997, built in response to the growing controversy over the Tri-state water dispute, the State of Georgia with its 52 watershed regions drains primarily into either the Gulf of Mexico, or the Atlantic, with the reservoir existing in the Upper Oconee River watershed, which ultimately drains into the latter.
