Lake Lanier Turns 50

In celebration of the lake’s fiftieth anniversary, the Marine Trade Association, the Marine Operators of Lake Lanier, and the US Army Corps of Engineers have collaborated to mark the year with celebrations. A listing of events that will be held in honor of the Lake’s fiftieth anniversary will be available on www.lakelanier50.com (available from mid-January)
