Long Shoals Crossing, Lake Oconee | Neighborhood Guide
Long Shoals Crossing is a long-established, non-gated subdivision on Lake Oconee in Putnam County, with homes dating back to the mid-1980s. It is reached off Long Shoals Dr NE, with Oak Ridge Lane as the only other road in the subdivision, and it is a separate community from nearby Long Shoals Landing despite the similar name.
The drive in is one of the most scenic on this end of the lake: fully forested, curvy, and hilly, with large granite boulder outcrops right along the road. Fewer than 50 homesites make up the subdivision, most on lots at or just under an acre, and homes here do not come to market often.
Where Long Shoals Crossing Is Located on Lake Oconee
Long Shoals Crossing sits on Lake Oconee in Putnam County, directly across the water from the lake’s famous Jumping Rock.

The Complete Guide to Long Shoals Crossing
One recent active MLS listing notes a community-well HOA with a fee of about $100 per year, one of the lower dues on this side of the lake. With fewer than 50 total homesites and most lots at or just under an acre, inventory here stays tight, and homes do not come to market often. When they do, the range can be surprisingly accessible: an updated modular home with an unattached garage, tucked at the back of one of the subdivision’s coves, recently offered lake access for under $1 million.
What sets Long Shoals Crossing apart, even among its forested neighbors, is the terrain itself. The drive in winds past massive exposed granite boulders, some large enough to shade a driveway, scattered through the hills on the way down to the water. Combined with the subdivision’s direct view of Jumping Rock, it is one of the more distinctive stretches of road on this end of Lake Oconee.
