Country Clubs
Lake Sidney Lanier is an extremely popular lake for boaters,
houseboats, jetskiers and other watersports. Created in the 50's with

miles of shoreline, Georgia's Great Lake is the Hamptons with a southern
accent. In addition to its many miles of shoreline, Lake Sidney Lanier

acres in the rolling hills of Northeast Georgia. Road Atlanta is located

The Chattahoochee River and its valley is a place rich in natural and
cultural resources. Sometimes the river is clear, cold, and slow-moving,
while at other times it is a muddy torrent, plunging through rocky
shoals. The valley contains a rich, diverse mix of plants and animals
that represent an environment much larger than itself. Take a solitary
walk to enjoy nature's display, raft leisurely through the rocky shoals
with friends, fish the misty waters as the sun comes up, reflect on a
mill worker's day as a chipmunk scurries over the paper mill ruins, or
have a picnic on a Sunday afternoon. Experience your Chattahoochee River
National Recreation Area.
