LAKE SIDNEY LANIER
Lake Lanier is a popular destination for recreation, and for many it is a desirable home location.
A brief overview of the lake is provided
at the Wikipedia site, and short articles from the online
New Georgia Encyclopedia note the impact of the lake on
Hall County and its county seat,
Gainesville.
Regarding Lake Lanier:
A US Corps of Engineers project to dam the Chattahoochee River created Lake Lanier. There are now thousands of homes around the lake, some having private boat docks.
Lake Lanier occurs in five counties: Hall, Forsyth, Gwinnett, Dawson and Lumpkin. Most of the homes are in Hall and Forsyth counties.
Prices for lake homes generally range from $200,000 to over $5,000,000. Lake lots begin at $100,000.
Lake Lanier is within minutes of metropolitan Atlanta, which provides access to many large-city amenities.
