Bull Sluice Lake is created by Morgan Falls Dam, a small hydroelectric dam located along the Chattahoochee River at the northern end of Sandy Springs, Georgia, and crossing the river westwards into eastern Cobb County in north metro Atlanta. Originally constructed in 1904 by Georgia Power to provide electricity for Atlanta's streetcars, it now provides enough power for about 4,400 homes. It was named for then recently deceased Georgia Power president S. Morgan Smith's mother whose maiden name was Morgan. At the time it was by far the largest hydroelectric plant in the state. In 1924 it was rebuilt as a 60 cycle plant with 15,000 kilowatts (up from the original 10,500 kW). In 1957 it was raised to regulate the flow from the larger Buford Dam, 36 miles (58 km) upstream, in order to give Atla

| - Bull Sluice Lake is created by Morgan Falls Dam, a small hydroelectric dam located along the Chattahoochee River at the northern end of Sandy Springs, Georgia, and crossing the river westwards into eastern Cobb County in north metro Atlanta. Originally constructed in 1904 by Georgia Power to provide electricity for Atlanta's streetcars, it now provides enough power for about 4,400 homes. It was named for then recently deceased Georgia Power president S. Morgan Smith's mother whose maiden name was Morgan. At the time it was by far the largest hydroelectric plant in the state. In 1924 it was rebuilt as a 60 cycle plant with 15,000 kilowatts (up from the original 10,500 kW). In 1957 it was raised to regulate the flow from the larger Buford Dam, 36 miles (58 km) upstream, in order to give Atlanta water during the hours it was needed most. It is 896 feet (273 m) long, and 56 feet (17 m) tall. The dam's license from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) was issued in May 2008, and expires in February 2039 which authorizes a capacity of 16,800 kW. The construction of the dam changed the river upstream from a narrow river with rapids into a wetland. The wetland serves as a habitat for migrating birds, waterfowl, songbirds, beavers, muskrats, and numerous species of reptiles and amphibians. (en)
- De Morgan Falls Dam is een stuwdam in de rivier Chattahoochee in de Amerikaanse staat Georgia. De dam ligt in het noorden van de stad Sandy Springs en in Cobb County. De Morgan Falls Dam is 273 meter lang en 19 meter hoog en heeft een licentie van de tot februari 2039, gesteld op een productie van 16 800 kW. De dam is oorspronkelijk aangelegd in 1904 door voor het leveren van elektriciteit aan de tram van Atlanta, maar levert nu genoeg stroom voor 4.400 huishoudens. De dam is genoemd naar de toen recentelijk overleden moeder van de directeur van Georgia Power, S. Morgan Smith, wier geboortenaam Morgan was. Op het moment van bouwen was het verreweg de grootste waterkrachtcentrale in de staat. In 1924 is de dam opnieuw opgebouwd, nu met een kracht van 15 000 kW. In 1957 is de dam opgehoogd om de stroom van de grotere , 58 kilometer verderop, te reguleren. Op deze manier werden de inwoners van Atlanta, op de momenten wanneer de vraag het grootst was, van water voorzien. De dam heeft de rivier bovenstrooms veranderd van een smalle rivier in drasland. Deze wetlands bieden een plek voor migrerende vogels, waterdieren, zangvogels, bevers, muskusratten en vele soorten reptielen en amfibieën (nl)
