Why Rent On Lake Spivey

One of the most sought-after addresses in the Atlanta Metro Region is Lake Spivey. The approximately 500-acre lake east of Jonesboro originated in 1957 when Dr Walter Spivey and his wife built a dam across Rum Creek on property they purchased here. The property, previously a cattle farm and later a peach orchard, quickly flooded to form Lake Spivey.
