Depending on the timing of releases at Buford Dam from Lake Lanier and Morgan Falls Dam from our stretch of the Chattahoochee River, the water depth can fluctuate from less than 3 ft. to more than 8 ft.! While the extremes of this range are generally unrowable, the topology of the river bed yields a variety of obstacles at different water levels.

From time to time, our members and other members of the rowing community provide feedback and updates about the locations and heights of different sandbars. If you notice that a sandbar has shifted or changed, please let us know at webmaster[at]atlantarow.org.
