Lake Lanier is at its highest level in two years, thanks in part to the 4-plus inches of rain earlier this week. A mix of rain and sunshine is in the forecast for the rest of the week. - photo by Scott Rogers
Lake Lanier is at its highest level in two years and is steadily rising after a couple days of steady, drenching rain. The lake level was at 1,071.52 feet above sea level at 5 p.m. Tuesday, April 24 — or about a half-foot above the summer full pool of 1,071 feet, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.
