| Got
out on July 16th for a couple hours. Had a great time just testing and
learning Lake Lanier as lake levels plummet with summer continuing to
worsen things. Had a great topwater day once you got on them within casting
distance. Hopefully, Lake Lanier will remain stable and safe for everyone
... although look for longer lines at the ramps very soon as they are closing
fast! Rainfall is in the forecast for this weekend, but we will just have
to see what happens! |
 |
| Please
remember to take your time as it's still dangerous with hazards now barely
under the water again. |
 |
| Please
conserve all water you can, every bit helps! :-) |

Welcome
to Lanier Secrets! |
 |
Lake
Sidney Lanier is the daily water supplier to local Georgia home and business
owners in
the
surrounding counties of Gainesville, Cumming, and Buford. Over 3.5 million
Georgians now depend on water stored in the lake or from the Chattahoochee
River downstream of Buford Dam. |
 |
| Lake
Lanier also currently supplies the counties and cities downstream (including
Fulton, Cobb and Dekalb counties and the city of Atlanta) with its stored
water sources which are released through the Buford Powerhouse daily. |
 |
|
 |
| In
addition to the water supply to everyone, Lake Lanier, by law, must release
and maintain a minimum flow of water from Buford Dam towards West Point
Lake. By the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers doing so, it will assure a healthy
and safe environment for aquatic and animal life downstream into Florida. |
 |
| The
lake is extremely popular with boaters, houseboats, jet skiers and others,
particularly around the summer holidays. Over 19 million visitors annually
visit the lake, including the marinas and the Lake Lanier Islands water
park, which was used for the rowing and canoeing events at the 1996 Summer
Olympics. Fishing, boating and camping are the main recreational activities
although duck and goose hunting is allowed in season. Enjoy the best Spot
fishing of the south and visit Lake Lanier soon! |
 |
| Lake
Lanier, (officially Lake Sidney Lanier) is a man-made lake that was completed
by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in 1956 with its main purpose to provide
for flood protection, power production, water supply, navigation, recreation
and fish and wildlife management. |
 |
| Lake
Lanier completely covers 692 shoreline miles (38,000 acres) across the
counties of Hall, White, Forsyth, Dawson and Gwinnett. In addition there
are 19,000 acres of controlled shore land above 1070 mean sea level. |
