The Smith Lake real estate market has also picked up. This is the time of year to buy property on the lake! The weather is warm and there are many opportunities available in all areas of the lake. I have been working with buyers from all of the surrounding states lately. I have had many Tennessee and Georgia buyers who have found out what a great bargain Smith Lake is compared to Lake Lanier and Tim's Ford Lake.

With over 200 listings on my website alone, there is a smith lake property out there for everyone!

Smith Lake Water Levels Almost 5 Feet Above Summer Pool

With all of the recent soaking rains, Smith Lake water levels have risen to almost 5 feet above summer pool! I haven't seen the lake this high in about 6 or 7 years. It's amazing to go from drought conditions to this! Today the lake level is 514.31 which is 4.31 feet above the 510 elevation, which is considered Summer pool.

We do expect the water level to drop in the upcoming days, and we are glad all of this rain has brought the Southeast out of drought conditions!

If you own Smith Lake property and haven't checked your dock and lines lately, I would strongly suggest doing so. Many docks and cables have broken loose due to the rapid rise of the water.
