Low water levels on Lake Lanier has made it difficult for Forsyth County resident Lu Treadway to gain access to her dock. Treadway and other Lake Lanier residents have formed a Facebook group to keep in touch and share information about all things concerning Lake Lanier.
As one of Georgia’s top attractions, Lake Lanier draws visitors every year from everywhere — boaters, campers or just general fun-seekers. But as they’re hauling boats to the exits, the 38,000-acre tourist spot remains the backyard for thousands of year-round residents. “The lake is for everybody to share, but ... when you live here, you have a different mindset,” Hall County resident Jeff Daigrepont said.
