Lake Allatoona - Day Use Parks, Boat Launch Ramps, Campgrounds and Beaches Open/Closed Status5/23/2013 by Michelle Eckart Update for Lake Allatoona Corps of Engineers Properties ![]() With the recent heavy rainstorms, Lake Allatoona’s water level has been greatly effected. Our water level is finally going down, today it is at 842.46 and hopefully by next week we will be back to 840. An interesting fact and rule of thumb is for every inch of water that falls over Lake Allatoona equals about one foot of water rise in the lake. The Corps of Engineers have closed many Campgrounds, Launch Ramps, Day Use Parks and Beaches around the lake due to safety reasons. Have a happy and safe Memorial Day!

I have received a lot of questions concerning this over the past week. One of the main purposes that Allatoona Dam was built was to prevent any future flooding disasters to befall upon Rome, Ga.. The first major flooding of Rome happened in April 1886 when the rivers crested at 15.29 feet over flood level. ![]() Click To Enlarge The Oostanaula and Etowah Rivers merge into and form the Coosa River close to Myrtle Hill in Rome. The week long continuous rainfall caused these rivers to rise to the point that a steamboat was able to travel down Broad Street.
eight marinas are not accessible this will further delay the short economic recovery that is brought by 6 to 7 million visitors per year.
There are many closures around the lake so be sure to check ahead before planning to visit the lake. CHECK CLOSINGS Make plans to attend the 2012 Mastercraft Pro Wakeboard Tour May 18 - 19! An estimated 8,000 people will turn out for this event held at Dallas Landing Park, Acworth, Ga. on Lake Allatoona.
Allatoona is the first of five stops for the Wakeboard Tour this season. Come out by boat or land and have an awesome day on the lake. Check out our video from last years tour. |
