When Lake Lanier first began generating power in 1957, around 225,000 people used it as a recreational playground. Today, it boasts over 8 million recreational users. 

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)
