Lake Lanier Info

Georgia World Congress Center this week was a great place to measure people's confidence in Lake Lanier. Do buyers at the 46th Annual Atlanta Boat Show still want to spend $100,000s on big boats?

The answer was ... maybe. The AJC reports that half-million dollar boats were still being purchased because "there's still plenty of room in the lake's main channel". About 40,000 visitors are expected with sales of around 700 boats.

Special report from Ken Sturdivant: The United States Corp of Engineers has been working with the private sector to improve ramps around Lake Lanier. Many ramps out of the water now are being repaired by the Corp.

As the water rises this spring, many ramps will reopen a lot sooner as a result of the work the Corp has done.
