What sets Double Branches apart is what lies just beyond it. The massive stretch of Lake Oconee shoreline from the end of White Oak Drive all the way to Wallace Dam is part of the Oconee Wildlife Management Area, a 4,800-acre wildlife and natural-habitat preserve. That makes this one of the best pockets on the lake for anyone who hunts or fishes, with protected land and water right at the doorstep and no development crowding the shoreline.
