I don't get it. I know that we have been dry for the past few weeks, but it was so frustrating this past weekend to watch the rain fall and the lake go even lower. It is a mystery why were near full pool for the month of June, and then have been dropping steadily since. Even Lake Lanier has been holding near full pool all summer and are currently down only a foot.

I'd also like a winter pool at 462, but only if there is more of a concerted flood management effort. As it seems to be managed now, starting with a 2' higher elevation will just result in my property being even 2 more feet underwater in times of heavy winter or spring rains. Is it really Logan Martin's purpose to hold/flood in winter and spring, and release in summer/fall so others on the Coosa chain have a near consistent level of water? Is that it; the best it will be?

As has been pointed out by others, there are so many positive attributes to this lake and the surrounding area. I hate to accept that we should just be thankful for whatever water level AP chooses to give us. Other than venting frustration to each other, what else do we do?
