All about Lake Lanier
Lake Lanier, tucked between Gainesville and Buford, is a peaceful destination in the hills of Northern Georgia.

Today, this oasis is home to more than 53,000 residents who live across five counties.
Lake Lanier is one of the most popular lakes in the Southeast and is the largest lake in Georgia. It’s home to more than 700 miles of beaches stretching across 38,000 acres. Experience the solitude of the mountains, the majesty of the waterfalls, and the beauty of the Chattahoochee and Chestatee Rivers as you enjoy a stay in one of the Lake Lanier cabins or house rentals.
