If the level of the lake keeps dropping, will there come a time that the level is below the river bed elevation of the river feeding the lake, and we will have a waterfall at the lake headend ?

I was talking to a Dadeville native that likes to run the rapids of the creek near the treatment plant. He was headed there after a big rain a couple of years ago and was stopped by the guy the runs the treatment plant, who advised him not to run the rapids because the City was dumping raw sewage because of the rain. True story.

The lake will have to go way down because there is about 80 years of siltation from runoff and erosion starting around the 480 level. That is why it is not a good idea to run up the river or in the backs of creeks as the water gets lower. Even if things look deep, there will be a large sand flat at the winter pool level. I have tried to go up both branches of Kowaliga creek in the winter, and I couldn't even run my jonboat all the way back. The Irwin Shoals may be more impressive for a while, just be careful on the way up there, and don't take a big boat.
