Lake Wedowee and Lake Harris are one in the same and it is on the Tallapoosa River. Lake Harris is the official name given by Alabama Power but the name Wedowee stuck because of the adjacent small town of Wedowee. Actually many locals know it as Lake Wedowee but if you ask them where Lake Harris is, some have never heard of Harris.

I find this all over and a couple of others in our vicinity:

Lake Thurlow is nicknamed Lake Tallassee because it is adjacent to Tallassee.

Lake Eufaula's official name is Lake Walter F. George. That one is known as Lake George on the Georgia side but Lake Eufaula on the Alabama side.

On the other side of Georgia, there is Thurmond Lake which had a name changed by the Feds a few years back to honor SC senator Strom Thurmond. People on the Georgia side still call is Clarks Hill Lake.
