Why Rent On Lake Tobesofkee

Tobesofkee is a 1,750-acre lake owned and operated by Bibb County near Macon, Ga. Property owners have developed the shoreline on the lower end but the upper end is still relatively undeveloped above the Lower Thomaston Rd. Bridge. The Bibb County Recreation Department maintains a large area for bank fishing access on the upper end of the lake called the fingers. Tobesofkee also is a nice place to take the family for the day.
