Dang!  That's pretty drastic...  I noticed the latest projection the 
Corps of Engineers posted on their website.  The graph tells the 
story pretty clearly -

Just be thankful you're not on Lake Lanier.  It's down 20 feet right 
now and forecast to drop even further.  Most boat ramps are not 
usable.  Keep that in mind if you intend to pull the boat.  Do it 
before the ramps become roads.

Cheers!
