This afternoon I crossed over Lake Lanier at Buford Dam. The Lake Lanier water level is as high as I have seen recently. Today the level was at 1072.50. As I crossed the dam, I noticed that the water level was actually all the way up to the sidewalk at West Bank Park. In many areas around the dam, the water was all the way into the trees and grassy areas. The water flowing out of the dam and into the Chattahoochee River was flowing at a pretty good clip, and the water level seemed very high. This was at about 2:30 P.M. today. With all of this said, we received a lot more rain today, at least in the city of Cumming. And we are scheduled to get more rain on Friday. It really makes the lake look beautiful with the water level up this high. But one does have to wonder about the effects of this high water level as it relates to erosion and shoreline management. What's your feeling about this Summer's Lake Lanier level? I bet we know what you're thinking!
