Dock Permits Available: Lake Lanier

The US Army Corps of Engineers has announced its procedures to issuing the approximate 174 remaining boat dock permits available for Lake Lanier.

According to its press release, the Corps will be conducting a lottery style drawing to give all applicants an equal opportunity and to determine the order of precedence for reviewing the remaining permit requests.

Beginning on July 10, residents on the lake who are interested in having their property reviewed for a new dock permit, may visit www.lakelaniersupl.com to download the information needed to submit a request letter. Request letters may be sent by mail for 90 days from 15 July 2009 until 13 October 2009 to:

Lake Lanier Permits
P O Box 9
Gonzalez, FL 32560

An outside firm will be entering all requests in a database and will post requests weekly on www.lakelaniersupl.com so applicants can ensure that their request has been received. A final list of confirmed requests will be published on the same site about one week after the open period and prior to a random drawing which will determine the order the requests will be reviewed. The drawing will be webcast and available by video feed to a site in our area. Links will also be available on www.lakelaniersupl.com and http://lanier.sam.usace.army.mil.

Detailed information on this procedure is available on the Corps' Web site or by calling the Corps' Shoreline Management office at Lake Lanier at 770-945-9531.

Happy 4th of July


Happy 4th of July!

We enjoyed a great evening of fireworks at the Cumming Fairgrounds last night. The weather was mild, breezy and a little cool....perfect for July!! If you missed the fantastic fireworks display in Cumming last night, don't worry. You can still catch most of the other shows tonight. Here's a few of my favorites!

Alpharetta: The Recreation & Parks Department will host this year's spectacular Fireworks show at Wills Park in Alpharetta. Childrens activities & entertainment will be on the Event Lawn from 5pm-8pm. Food vendors will be located throughout the park. Another "Awesome" Alpharetta event! Free Admission and Parking. For more information visit www.alpharetta.ga.us.

Lake Lanier: Lake Lanier Islands shoots off a fantastic fireworks show each year. You can either head over to the islands and join in the festivities, or grab a boat and find a spot on the lake to enjoy the show. Or check out various internet blogs to find a good place to park and see the show off the islands. Visit www.lakelanierislands.com for more information.

Dahlonega: For an all day schedule of events, head up to Dahlonega. The day will end with another spectacular fireworks display from the NGCSU campus. For the days schedule visit www.dahlonega.org.
