Lake Lanier is not only a tight-knit community, but also a large source of annual revenue for all of North East Georgia. Residents and out-of-towners alike flock to Lake Lanier each year to enjoy lake recreation. While many people are aware of the lake and the amenities it offers, many people are not aware that the future of Lake Lanier is in jeopardy and needs your help.
Lake Lanier is currently party to six lawsuits regarding the Tri-State water wars and part of the outcome of these lawsuits effects whether recreation will continue to be an authorized activity at Lake Lanier. No one wants to imagine a tomorrow where future generations can not enjoy the lake as we do. By joining the Lake Lanier Association, you can help preserve the future of Lake Lanier, as well as the value of your lake property.
Membership in the Lake Lanier Association is open to anyone interested in preserving the water quality and quantity, as well as the beauty and recreational opportunities Lake Lanier affords. The LLA is a non-profit association, founded in 1966, and is the oldest volunteer group working to protect the high water quality and water levels of Lake Lanier.
Membership in the LLA starts at just $50.00 for the year and there are several levels of membership to choose from. Visit
www.lakelanier.org for more information about Lake Lanier and membership in the association. You can also donate directly from the website; donations and membership are tax deductible and can be deducted on this year’s taxes if made by the end of the year.

Lake Lanier reached full pool yesterday morning! Hard to believe it was 18 feet lower in January, and a year ago we were in a Level 4 drought. There's actually water in that little finger of lake that I pass traveling North on Georgia 400 near Pilgrim Mill. I don't think I've seen water there in the last 5 to 6 years.
Lake Lanier's full pool status is great news for lake property. Due to the economy and the drought with it's many dried up docks, lake home prices have dropped considerably in the past 2 years. With interest rates and prices still low, and the lake full, now is the time to pick up lakefront property. As activity increases on the lake throughout the next year due to improved recreation and business on and near the lake, prices of these homes will begin to rise again.
