Did You Know

Did you know that Lake Sidney Lanier, Georgia’s famous man-made lake, is deeper than the Statue of Liberty is tall. The depth at Buford Dam is 211 feet.

The lake took five years  to reach full pool submerging entire towns, homes, bridges, old county roads, and smaller lakes like Lake Warner, which was located at Riverside Drive and old Chattahoochee Park.

Some of the displaced residents met the Army Corp Of Engineers with guns loaded, determined to defend home that had been passed down for generations.
