At Vann’s Tavern Park on the western bank of the Chattahoochee River and what is now called Lake Sidney Lanier in Forsyth County, today’s traveler can creatively envision the commercial possibilities of a road through Cherokee territory.
In 1803, agent Return Meigs made a point of recommending James Vann as someone who would build a successful tavern and ferry. Meigs wrote that Vann ―will establish a good House of Entertainment on the Chattahoochee where the road will cross that river & will keep Horses always ready for the mail carriers if required.‖12 In 1957, the Vann’s Tavern building was moved to the New Echota State Historic Site.

There are three boat ramps and plenty of trailer parking at the park. A dock is located conviently close to the ramp area for loading and unloading boats. |

Even a casual visitor may walk along the banks of Lake Lanier and enjoy a beautiful view. While this is not a large park, it is open for day use and picnicing. There are no tables and grills available but the benches are wide and provide a confortable place to rest and eat. |

Beautiful vistas of the lake and lakeside are available throughout the park. |
