Back on topic.  Lake Martin was designed to be a storage reservoir to catch floodwaters and provide water for navigation during droughts.  This was before the lske became a major recreation destination.  The Coosa River lakes are much smaller and most lack the volume to do what Martin does.  The Coosa lakes that do have storage capacity (Logan Martin, Weiss and maybe Neely Henry) are being used, but they still can't help much.
