Lake Seed is a 240 acre (0.97 km²) man made lake with 13 miles (21 km) of shoreline located in the northeastern corner of Georgia in Rabun County. It is the second lake in a series of five lakes operated by Georgia Power that follows the original riverbed of the Tallulah River. It is sandwiched between the northernmost lake in the series, Lake Burton, and Lake Rabun. Lake Rabun is followed by Lake Tallulah Falls and Lake Tugalo. The reservoir elevation is listed as 1,765 feet on topographic maps, but Georgia Power considers the lake full at an elevation of 1,752.5 feet.

Lake Seed was formed in 1927 with the completion of the Nacoochee Dam, a gravity concrete and masonry dam that is 75 feet high and spans 490 feet. The associated Nacoochee Hydroelectric Plant has a capacity of 4,800 kilowatts. Nacoochee is derived from the Cherokee word that means “evening star.”
