After receiving online rave reviews about the gorgeous scenery, endless outdoor activities and spectacular vacation and real estate opportunities, the Lake Oconee area can add another national recognition to its list of achievements. On May 10, 2013, MSN published a list of the Top 10 Gorgeous Lakes in the US. The national recognition spurred online interest from commentators and has set a new tone as one of the best places to retire on a lake.
