6 lakes on record in Elmore County, drawn from the Atlas lake directory.

44,000 acres of deep Tallapoosa River water — the South's oldest hydro reservoir and Alabama's most tournament-tested spotted bass fishery.
Robert E Bob Woodruff Lake
USACE Robert F Henry Lock & Dam impoundment — 12,800 acres (20 square miles) stretching 80 miles up the Alabama River from Jones Bluff past Prattville and Wetumpka. Completed 1975.
Lake Jordan
The lower-Coosa Alabama Power impoundment between Mitchell Dam and Walter Bouldin — Alabama Bass Trail tournament water, Coosa-strain spots, and creek-arm crappie.
Walter Bouldin Lake
Alabama Power's last and largest Coosa-chain hydro project — a bypass-fed reservoir tied to Jordan Lake by a free-flowing canal, worked hard for largemouth, spots, crappie, and stripers.
Yates Lake
A compact 2,000-acre Alabama Power pool impounded in 1928 — lightly pressured spotted bass and largemouth water on the lower Tallapoosa.
Thurlow Lake
Alabama Power's run-of-river Thurlow Dam closed December 31, 1930 — the 574-acre pool just downstream of Yates Dam in Tallassee is prime shoal bass and spotted bass water on the lower Tallapoosa.
