Flood Watch issued July 22 at 11:19AM EDT until July 25 at 12:00AM EDT by NWS Peachtree City GA
* WHAT...Flooding caused by excessive rainfall is possible. * WHERE...Portions of north central, northeast, and northwest Georgia, including the following counties, in north central Georgia, Cherokee, Dawson, Fannin, Forsyth, Gilmer, Hall, Lumpkin, Pickens and Union. In northeast Georgia, Banks, Towns and White. In northwest Georgia, Bartow, Catoosa, Chattooga, Dade, Floyd, Gordon, Murray, Polk, Walker and Whitfield. * WHEN...From 8 PM EDT this evening through late Friday evening. * IMPACTS...Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations. Flooding may occur in poor drainage and urban areas. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS... - Repeated rounds of rainfall along a stalled frontal boundary are likely through late week. An anomalously moist environment over Georgia will support high rain rates and increased chances for flash flooding. Widespread rainfall of 2 to 4 inches will be possible with locally higher amounts of 5 inches or more. Urban areas, and areas with poor drainage, will be the most susceptible to flash flooding. - http://www.weather.gov/safety/flood
About
Bolding Mill Shelters is a day-use facility located within Bolding Mill Park on Lake Sidney Lanier, about 30 miles north of Buford Dam in Hall County, Georgia. The facility features two group picnic shelters available for advance reservation through Recreation.gov. This is not an overnight camping area; registered visitors use the shelters for group gatherings and picnics during daytime hours. The park offers a designated swim beach with a gentle concrete slope providing ADA accessibility, restrooms, a boat ramp, and a fishing pier. Visitors can access the Laurel Ridge Hiking Trail, a 3.5-mile loop with views of the lake and Chattahoochee River. Lake Lanier boasts 38,000 surface acres, 690 miles of shoreline, and over 100 small islands set against the forested foothills of the Georgia Blue Ridge Mountains. Alcohol, fireworks, amplified music, and PA systems are prohibited at the shelters. Day-use park fees apply to all visitors and are separate from shelter reservation fees. For overnight camping, visitors should look to the adjacent Bolding Mill Campground, which offers electric and water hookup sites as well as primitive tent sites.
