Chattahoochee Hydro Real-Time Operations
Lake elevations are always subject to change, depending on river conditions. The tool calculates the real-time peaking schedule of our hydro units and additionally pulls the real-time lake elevation.
Daily Lake Levels
Daily lake levels may fluctuate because of varying amounts of rainfall and the volume of water that passes through the dam for electricity generation. View this data to determine the current lake level based on rain fall.
Vessel Safety Check
Ensuring compliance with Federal and State boating laws is easy with a free Vessel Safety Check by the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary and U.S. Power Squadron volunteer organizations.
Sportsman Activities
