Lake Lanier Information

Northern Georgia’s Lake Lanier is the perfect destination to consider if you’ve got lake properties for sale on your mind. The state’s largest lake is also its most popular, as Lake Lanier spans 59 square miles and is only a short drive from bustling Atlanta, Georgia. With its abundance of top-notch lake facilities and accommodations, not to mention its picturesque landscapes, it’s no wonder Lake Lanier has maintained such prestige for generations.

Lake Lanier boasts close to 39,000 square acres of surface water, encouraging anglers of all skill levels to take to its clear waters and try their luck. In fact, making your way to your favorite fishing spot is always a possibility since the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers manages 46 parks with boat launches around the lake. Once out, head below Buford Dam on the hunt for trout; the cold water drawn from the bottom of the lake appeals to the brook, brown, and rainbow trout populations. Striped and white bass fishing is also very popular year round.

While Lake Lanier had been beloved by locals for years, it was put on the map during the 1996 Olympics when it hosted the official rowing and sprint/canoe/kayak events. Eyes are still on Lake Lanier today because the waters are as pristine and appealing as ever. 540 miles of shoreline invite all to explore and splash about a bit, and lake homes for sale enjoy the unparalleled scenery and recreation year-round. Bask in the sun on the beach or make some waves on a swift-shifting sailboat—your options are only limited to your imagination.

As if the lake weren’t spectacular enough, the Lake Lanier Islands resort adds another level of luxury to the experience. The 1200-acre development features a theme park, rental boats, tennis courts, and other amenities. Lakefront properties certainly appreciate such thoughtful features. And with the Legacy on Lanier Golf Club nearby, you'll never be too far from the green. This state-of-the-art golf course was designed to not only showcase the beauty of the lake, but to challenge your skills as well. If you’re interested in living on a Lake Lanier golf course, visit GolfHomes.com for property listings and details.

Begin your day of fun in the sun at the Aqualand Marina, which happens to be the world’s largest inland marina, or unwind with a session of retail therapy at the Southeast’s largest shopping center, the Mall of Georgia. And be sure to get in the holiday spirit with the “Nights of Lights” presented by Lake Lanier Islands, where 6 miles of twinkling decorations usher in the festive season.

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 Clopton 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.
