Lake Lanier- Bring on the Rain!

I never thought that day after day after day of rain would actually make me happy. But around Gainesville, Georgia rain is a wonderful thing these days. After 2 years of far below average rainfall and accidental excessive releases by the Corps of Engineers from Lake Lanier, we have finally hit a bit of a milestone. 1060! If you live anywhere near Lake Lanier you probably know that we have not seen this level of water in Lake Lanier since September of 2007. All last summer, boating was much more hazardous than normal with levels hovering around 16 feet below full pool, and lake lovers suffered for it. Local businesses that depend on the lake, tourism and additional patrons that Lake Lanier typically brings in felt it sting of the low lake level too. So here's to the rain, and being just over 10 feet below full pool. Keep it coming, keep it rising. As I look out my window at the slow drizzle and dreary day, I can only think to myself, "Here we come 1071!!!!" It is a great time to think about Lake Lanier real estate.
