Actually Lanier is a beautiful lake. It's just suffering from overload. In the late 80's the corps went on a park building spree and ignored warnings that overpopulation would result. Then no restrictions were put on boat sizes...naturally people want to be comfortable cruising a busier lake so the boats got bigger made bigger wakes causing the need for bigger boats... and you know the rest of the story.

Tha lake is actually clean too. I think some of the south lake discharges are slowly changing that though as Atlanta surrounds the lake.

The real villian in the water quality downstream is the City and Fulton county governments. They can't get their act together as to which cousin gets what contract to repair the sewer and water systems so they just dump the raw sewage and pay the EPA fines and tax us. Neat Huh? You would think the Feds would get "fed" up and stop this but it's politics. Now you know where the real blame should go....
