Down by the Lake

Today's nature walk took us to Lake Lanier. Right now Georgia is being sued (and suing) Florida and Alabama over the water in Lake Lanier. As you can see from the photos, water levels are still low. The sandy beach is suppose to under water! The two small dots on the beach are my oldest--walking ahead.

We took our walk out into the now dried up lake area to find seashells and drift wood. The kids enjoyed romping on the rocks and throwing rocks into the lake. There was not much in the way of pretty vegetation unless you count some pine trees that have taken root.


My daughter was none to pleased to find that visitors to the area had not cleaned up their trash in areas. All in all it was a good walk and we did get to see first hand the result of drought on the lake.
