Nestled in the foothills of the Georgia Blue Ridge Mountains and nurtured by the Chattahoochee and Chestatee Rivers, Lake Sidney Lanier is named for Sidney Lanier, whose admiration of the area’s scenic beauty inspired him to compose his famous “Song of the Chattahoochee”.
Lake Lanier is one of America’s favorite lakes. With several million visitors annually enjoying its recreational facilities, it has been the most visited Corp of Engineers project in the nation.
One reason for for the lake’s popularity is its proximity to metropolitian Atlanta, Georgia. A well-developed road network surrounds Lake Lanier, with several highways crossing the main body. Visitors can enjoy the city of Atlanta and, in the space of a short drive, can lose themselves in the tranquility at Lake Lanier.

I lived in Georgia my whole life and currently live in the state. I never heard of anybody who got sick swimming in the lake. The only thing I know is that a couple of people drowned in the lake. Usher's son and some other guy. That's all I know. I tried to Google your comment about people getting sick and there's no confirmation about your comment.

Tranquility “ORIGINS. Lake Lanier came to be in 1956, when the Corps of Engineers completed Buford Dam on the Chattahoochee River. The Corps built the lake to manage navigation and flood control of the Chattahoochee River, provide hydroelectricity, and supply water for the city of Atlanta.” Yeah.. sounds like the white people ruined it since it was only black people who lived there at the time.

Princess Yonna, What does the COLOR OF MY SKIN have to do with THE TRUTH‼️ Ms Princess, your comment reveals that you are a RACIST- very sad‼️ Do you live in the GAINESVILLE AREA⁉️ I was on the ALMOST STATE CHAMPIONSHIP, GAINESVILLE HIGH RED ELEPHANT FOOTBALL TEAM fall of 1972, played at City Park‼️ This was just after the forced busing of 1969/1970 that closed the BRAND NEW E. E. BUTLER HIGH SCHOOL that was STATE OF THE ART and had Air Condition, Science Labs, Reading Labs with full electronics Audio/Visual, A Full Size Gymnasium that was bigger( seat more people) than most around here‼️ Democrats did this by the Federal Government‼️ After President Kennedy was Murdered, President Lyndon Johnson came to Gainesville and “Declared His War On Poverty” which resulted in closing a Perfectly New School- said if G-ville didn’t comply- Government would cut funding‼️ That was 1964! Ask around this community and check me out⁉️ We brought harmony to this community by our LOVE FOR EACH OTHER AND COMMON GOAL OF WINNING STATE‼️ Earnest Mason, Walter Rucker, Calvin Young & brother Charles Young, Doug Young, SIDNEY GARDNER, Michael Ware, Ben Hawks, Robert Willingham, Lamar “Peanut” Johnson, Eddie Lipscomb, Greg Young, Phillip Davenport, Wayne Davenport, James Davis, Tim Butts, Felton Ellison, Milton Haynes, Jimmy Lee Robertson, just passed 😔 Sylvester Storey, Johnny Singleton, Michael Tanner, JEFFREY WILLIAMS, WENDER BULLOCK, brothers Donovan & Mike duCille (Famous), Johnny Rakestraw, Ricky Glasper, Stanley Hill, Adell Hawks, Tim Rucker, Freddie Millsap, Perry Williams, Alton Young, Curtis Wilson; are but a few that contributed to the goal of getting along and lifting each other up‼️ I didn’t list the LADIES THAT ALSO CONTRIBUTED due to time and space and respect but many were SCHOLARS, Athletes, Thespians, Class Officers‼️ I don’t know how old you are and it is none of my business but my Love and Admonition for you is study the True History of all subjects before taking a position‼️ The duCille brothers went on to become World Renowned Journalist with Mike Winning a Pulitzer Prize for his Photography and Research papers(?) ‼️ Study, Research leads to Knowledge and an Approved Worker for THE LORD‼️ BLESSINGS FOR YOU AND YOURS‼️✨🌹 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 ❤️🤍💙

Myoung Woon Kim, Thank You for your reply‼️ The Lake is monitored and tested daily by several agencies‼️ The Department of Natural Resources, Corp Of Engineers, Chattahoochee River Keepers as well as ALL Local County & Municipalities surrounding the lake‼️ They monitor Businesses that are located on Tributaries flowing in to the lake‼️ There have been times that Local Government water treatment plants have had spills due to valves broken or clogs‼️ Quick responses have corrected the spills but Government Fines are strictly enforced‼️ Drought conditions that result in low natural flow tend to create algae in coves but they are minuscule because the boat traffic churning the water‼️ Rarely that has happened and the officials issue warnings! In 65 years, I have never been effected by ANY Bacterial contamination‼️ I have spent Thousands of Hours on the lake and NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS‼️

Born and raised in Georgia. This is why I'll never leave the state because Lake Lanier is the best lake in the state of Georgia with Lake Oconee in second place. But if you wanna catch the biggest catfish and striped bass, I highly recommend going to Elijah Clarke Hill state park. It's on the Savannah river near Augusta, Ga and South Carolina. But Lake Lanier is the funnest with things to do.

Texas 1, Please don’t listen to these trolls‼️ The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, The Chattahoochee River Keepers, The Lake Lanier Home Owners Association, Gainesville Parks & Recreation, Hall County Leisure Services and surrounding County/City Governments, Lake Lanier Islands Association, State of Georgia Department of Natural Resources, All surrounding Water Departments, 1996 Olympic Lanier Canoe and Kayaking Club & Association; All have,and are Diligent, a Vested Interest in keeping the lake Clean and Safe‼️ Tests are conducted biweekly and during these extreme temperatures, weekly‼️ Canadian Geese are the biggest problem but DNR has them controlled by allowing certain hunting times and places- mainly Islands or undeveloped areas‼️ The Norton Agency, Real Estate & Insurance, Frank Norton, President and CEO, are the largest firm in North GEORGIA that handles lake homes and property. There are many others that represent Lake Homes, buyers & sellers. Biggest issue of owning Lake Property is Dock Permits from the Corps. There is a moratorium temporarily on Permits due to Docks at peak capacity but most property sold with a Dock Permit transfers to new owner but may have to be inspected and brought up to date if needed. A transfer fee may be included. As far as your price range- you aren’t going to find a good selection of larger homes on the water or undeveloped lots either. I am 65 and the Lake took a lot of my Grandparent’s land, though He was paid, it was pennies on the dollar given today’s prices‼️ Even in the mid 70’s, I could/should have bought 4 lots at$10k apiece; now, if anyone can find a lot, sells for hundreds of thousands of dollars, depending on location and deep water. I would recommend the North end of the lake. Prices more moderate, better schools, less lake & highway traffic and many more reasons because I have lived up here, Gainesville, for these many years so far. Gainesville has rich History and Cultural as do surrounding Counties, I’m Biased but realistical‼️ Send a comment if I can help YALL in any way‼️ BLESSINGS ‼️🌹🌺🌷🌸 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 ❤️🤍💙 🍑 🍑🍑

Texas 1, Another You Tube Channel “Lake Lanier Real Estate” is from here. I just ran across her comment below yours. I replied to her about your You Tube Channel and that she should send a comment to you for extra help! Gainesville is the “Queen City of The Mountains” and Poultry Captial of The World ‼️ We have All amenities of Atlanta but the pleasantness of a small town‼️ Cumming, Dawsonville, are on the Northwest side of the Lake and offer even smaller Home Town feel, however they are growing faster with people getting out of the crowded cities and into the suburbs! All connected by 4-lane (& some 6 lane) Interstates‼️ Dahlonega is not on the Lake but close to the start of The Appalachian Trail and site of The First Discovery and Gold Rush in America. Gold is still being mined on smaller scale today‼️ I am sorry for commenting so late‼️ I hope I didn’t wake YALL⁉️ Water is better on the North side‼️ Georgia Power Company has 7 Pristine Mountain Lakes that they own and operate. Lake Burton, Seed and Lake Raburn are the biggest but considerable smaller than Lanier. Coach Nick Saban, Head Coach of Univ of Alabama has a place on Burton along with Sandra Bullock but hers may be up for sale or already gone⁉️ The movie “A Walk In The Woods” with Robert Redford and Nick Noltie (I think) was filmed at start of Appalachian Trail, 10 miles west of Dahlonega and location of Georgia’s highest water fall, Amicalola Falls; will give you a Beautiful view of the NORTHEAST GEORGIA MOUNTAINS‼️ “...from Islands to Highlands, GEORGIA’s got it ALL” 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 ❤️🤍💙 🍑🍑🍑
