Dawson County officials closed three of four boat launching ramps at War Hill Park last week, citing the constantly receding water level in Lake Lanier as a safety hazard for boats going in and out of the water. Parks and Recreation Director Lisa Henson said that the fourth ramp, a lower water lamp, was extended a few years ago when there was a drought and will remain open for public use. War Hill Park is one of the few public parks on Lake Lanier with a low water ramp.
