Everything about Bull Sluice Lake totally explained
Bull Sluice Lake is a small
lake located along the
Chattahoochee River in northern
Georgia, in the northern
suburbs of
metro Atlanta. It is, and is held back by
Morgan Falls Dam. Besides the
hydroelectric power produced by the dam, the lake's primary use is
recreation, including
fishing and
rowing. It also now helps to buffer releases by
Buford Dam, from the much larger (by 500 times)
Lake Lanier, or 58 kilometers upstream.
Bull Sluice Lake is created by Morgan Falls Dam, a small
hydroelectric dam located along the
Chattahoochee River at the southern end of
Roswell,
Georgia, in north
metro Atlanta. Originally constructed in 1904 by
Georgia Power to provide
electricity for
Atlanta's
streetcars, it now provides enough power for about 4400 homes. It is 1031
feet or 314
meters long, and 56 feet or 17 meters tall. The dam's current
license from the
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) was issued in March of 1959, and expires in February 2009. Georgia Power has begun the required impact studies for re-licensing of the dam, which will be for 30 or 50 years.
