Lake Bulow Campbell is an artificial reservoir, 9.1 miles south of Covington, Georgia, United States. The lake is the primary body of water for BSA Atlanta Area Council's Bert Adams Scout Reservation. The stoppage of the flow of water that creates the reservoir is created by Bert Adams Dam. The lake provides a space for swimming, kayaking, small boat sailing, and canoeing for those staying at the camp. The lake's surrounding woods also provide many hiking trails that are available to both campers and non-camper visitors. The lake is also home to several species of freshwater fish and aquatic fauna, and hosts a large amount of fishing on a catch-and-release basis.
