Lake Lanier businesses have something to be excited about.  The lake level forecast by the COE shows that Lake Lanier is to be at full pool 1071.00 around May 1st.  The stream flows into Lake Lanier remain consistent despite the above normal temperatures. The current water level is 1070.65 and rising. Also have you noticed something else?  We are not receiving the same level of rainfall that we got during the winter months.  May is typically one of the driest months of the year so we will have to see which direction the lake level goes.  For now, get out enjoy the beautiful weather and Lake Lanier!
