Lake Chatuge's history is is just like many other lakes constructed by the TVA in the 1940s to support the war effort, primarily supply power to build aircraft and other heavy munitions. TVA lakes stretch from North Carolina's Lake Glenville south to North Georgia and Lake Chatuge.
Lake Chatuge's purpose was mainly to store water for power generation downstream but a local turbine was installed in 1954. Unlike many other TVA lakes built in areas with very steep terrain and very remote areas, the gradual terrain around the area makes Lake Chatuge very accessible
