U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Mobile District  Shoreline Management

The purpose of the Allatoona Lake Shoreline Management Plan is to provide guidance and information for the effective management of the Allatoona Lake shoreline and adjacent public land and water.  The plan describes the types of private uses and activities that may be permitted along the shoreline.  It also addresses shoreline allocations, rules, regulations, and other information relative to the Allatoona Lake Shoreline Management Program.

U.S. Army Corps of Engineers policy is to provide for the management of public land and water associated with Allatoona Lake in a manner that promotes the safe and healthful public use of the shoreline, while assuring conservation of natural resources for present and future generations.  Public access to and from the Allatoona Lake shoreline will be preserved.  The intent of this Shoreline Management Plan is to achieve a balance between permitted private uses and long term resource protection. 

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers at Allatoona Lake issues permits for many shoreline uses including docks, under brushing, grass mowing, shoreline protection, steps, walkways, etc, in limited development zoned areas.  For questions regarding permits, contact the Shoreline Management Section at 678-721-6700.
