    Check in my brothers. I predict we'll have a wet winter and she'll be full by Spring!

    Thanks Joker. My wife's job is relocating us down there. I am not 100% sold on the move just yet. I get home sick pretty easily and have an awesome group of "boating" freinds here on the Ches. I do like the fact that there are a couple of lakes in the area. I also like being closer to Florida as I have family in Palatka!!!! Look forward to meeting some new faces towards the end of next summer!!!

    Hey you'll like it. Great place and regardless of low water I'm on the lake all the time. Plenty to do here. Mountains are close , beach is close and big A is close. Economy is great in many areas.

    We were down there in September checking out the "area" and made a trip across Buford Dam road. It didn't look good then!! I will hope for the best!

    You also saw the deep best looking view of the lake. It really looks sorry when you look at anything back in off the main channel. It could fill to full pool but it will take some abnormally high rain fall. Let's hope for the best.

    The one good thing from the lake being down so low is that the traffic is low

    The nice thing about a lake is once you figure out where everthing is you know where it is... No current

    Ya'll need to come over to Allatoona. I was at the marina yesterday and the lake was up 4 feet from the previous weekend. Full Pool is in our sights when they let it fill back up. Besides only sissies hang at Lanier. We have wild women and banjo music over here.......

    Georgia’s rivers, lakes and streams are polluted. In 2004, nearly 3,000 miles of rivers and streams and 56,000 acres of lakes were recognized as too polluted to be safe for fishing and swimming, including popular recreation areas like Lake Allatoona. Part of the problem is our Environmental Protection Division (EPD) is too underfunded to enforce the clean water laws that are supposed to restrict dangerous levels of pollution.

    I'll take a little less water anyday. Oink , oink!

    Just a word of warning to anyone that might go out on Lanier any time in the near future with all the rain we've had here the lake is up a couple of feet (Still too dam low) and there is a lot of floating debris out there.

    We were out today for a little while, and there were floating trees, railroad ties, and telephone poles!
