The 38,000-acre lake has 540 miles of shoreline. Lake Lanier Islands, a resort and water park, hugs its southernmost shore. The islands are the remnants of mountains submerged when the man-made lake was formed in 1957.
Scenic coves and wooded peninsulas define the 1,200 acres of ground they cover. A visit can be a day trip or a resort vacation at one of two nearby first-class hotels, Renaissance Pine Isle and Emerald Pointe.
Charming lake house, cabin rentals and campground sites are also available. The beach and water park are the biggest attractions, featuring water slides, Georgia's largest wave pool, a mile of white sandy beach, volleyball and live music. Visitors can rent sailboats, houseboats, ski boats or even a luxury liner with hot tubs and accommodations for up to 100.
Two championship golf courses--particularly Emerald Pointe--offer lake views and challenging holes. Don't forget the lake itself. |
