Lake Lanier Water Level Peaking Just Above 1075! Here Are A Few More Photos Of The Waterfront!
The rain has ceased for now, and Lake Lanier appears to be stabilizing between the 1075-1076 level. The impact of the increased water in the lake is dramatic. Initially, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers planned to release large amounts of water on New Years Day, but apparently that has changed because of the high water levels already present in lakes and streams south of Lanier. Take a look at these new photos from yesterday to see the latest impact on our shoreline in my neighborhood. You can compare the photos to the pics in our last posts to see just how much difference there is...

All of this rain and increase in the lake level left us fretting about our own dock! Just last month, we completed electrical installation at the dock via shoreline power. Here are a few photos of what our dock looked like. Fortunately, Marine Specialties made it out to our location just before the crest was about to overtake our electrical junction box at the base or our dock ramp. They saved the day in the nick of time and repositioned our dock, keeping us high and dry!

All of the above Lake Lanier photos were taken along the Johnson Creek and Lathem Creek areas of Lake Lanier in Gainesville, Georgia.
As a follow-up to the dock move, I thought that I should add what the dock looks like now! Here is the photo of our dock in its new, high & dry position!
