One Year's Difference

oneyear

It is amazing to see the difference one year has made at Lake Lanier. The picture above shows a land bridge that existed last summer at Keith's Bridge Park. The 2009 drought created a land bridge between the park and a nearby island. This year, the area is now back up to normal water levels and the island exists once more.

It is still possible to wade out to the island on foot so you will get wet. The changes are dramatic and beautiful all along the shoreline of Lake Lanier today!

Springtime at Lake Lanier
••Wednesday•, •March• 24 2010 08:31•

As the weather warms, the signs of Spring are everywhere! Color returns to the lake banks as trees begin to flower and flowers spring up along the banks. Many of the park boatramps are filled with parked cars and trailers as fishing expeditions begin their summer trek to the lake. With water levels high, many small coves open up broader choices of fishing spots both from boats and banks.

As the days warm, fish activities increase and so does the number of people fishing. When the water temperatures begin to increase, expect to see many more jetskis and recreational boating this year. This promises to be the best recreational year we have seen in a while.

Lake Sidney Lanier
••Wednesday•, •August• 05 2009 13:34•

Lake Lanier in Buford and Gainesville is also known as Lake Sidney Lanier. Nestled in the foothills of the Georgia Blue Ridge Mountains lies Lake Sidney Lanier, one of America’s favorite lakes. Over 7.5 million people a year visit Lanier. With over 692 miles of shoreline, the lake is well known for its aqua-blue colored water, spectacular scenery and many recreational activities.

Its 38,000-acre reservoir operated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and located about 50 miles northeast of Atlanta. Lanier receives heavy fishing pressure due to the large regional population. Spotted bass, crappie, striped bass and catfish are favorite targets of Lake Lanier anglers. There are many parks and campgrounds at this lake.
