July 4 warning for Lake Lanier
The water level at Lake Lanier will be lower for July 4 than it has been on Independence Day since it was built in the 1950s. The federal agency that operates the lake has issued a warning to holiday revelers. This boat dock now sits on dry land at the Shoal Creek cove area at Lake Lanier. (June 27, 2008) Vino Wong/AJC
