Book Your Trip in Alamo, GA

The tranquil city of Alamo is located in Wheeler County, Georgia. Alamo, the county seat of Wheeler County, was founded in August 1909 and named after the legendary Texas Revolutionary War conflict. It is one of Wheeler County's only two cities. The famed Little Ocmulgee State Park, the Telfair-Wheeler Airport, and the Atlantic Coast are all within a short drive of Alamo.

For visitors who like historical information, the historic Wheeler County Courthouse was built in 1914, based on an Ed Hosford design. It was his penultimate Georgia courthouse design. The building was burned down in 1916 and was rebuilt in 1917 based on the Neoclassical style by Frank Milburn. Little Ocmulgee EMC, Wheeler Correctional Facility-CoreCivic, and the Wheeler County School System call Alamo home.

Alamo Fishing: A Tranquil Atmosphere

Nestled in the heart of Wheeler County is Alamo's small, welcoming town, perfect for any person who wants a quiet environment a few times a year. It may be an inland city, but nearby cities with plenty of rich water bodies surrounding it serve as a good starting point for any angler who may find themselves here.

First is the Oconee River, the headwaters in Hall County. The Middle and North Oconee rivers travel 55-65 miles before uniting to form the Oconee River below Athens. The Oconee River runs freely for roughly 20 miles until it reaches the Wallace Dam-formed northern end. Sinclair Dam creates Lake Sinclair, which is located below Wallace Dam. The Oconee River flows freely for about 143 miles beyond Sinclair Dam, except for one abandoned diversion dam near Milledgeville, until it joins the Ocmulgee to form the Altamaha River. Here, anglers often catch white bass, black bass, crappie, bluefish, and channel catfish.

A grist mill, a covered bridge, and the Parrish Mill dam, constructed in 1880, are among the George L Smith State Park features. Anglers and canoeists flock to the park because of its location on a 412-acre millpond dotted with cypress trees. Bird watchers and naturalists flock to the moderately-sized state park because of its rural setting. Among the rare species that live there are the great blue heron and the white ibis. Here, anglers will enjoy targeting largemouth bass, crappie, bluegill, chain pickerel, and channel catfish.
