The summer may be ending–but it isn’t over yet! There’s still plenty of time to get out to Lake Lanier and soak in the best moments of the summer of 2022. Lake Lanier and the surrounding rural areas have near-endless ways to have fun and ring in the final days of summer, and we’re here to show you the very best ways you can celebrate with your friends and family.
Read on to learn more about the best things to do around Lake Lanier this summer!
1. Boating
Looking for the perfect send-off before summer ends? Rent a boat and hit the lake with Paradise Rental Boats! This lakeside vendor offers a wide range in its fleet, ranging from WaveRunners to full-size pontoons. No matter how you want to sail the clear lake, you can–and in style, too!
Lake Lanier is one of the cleanest and most beautiful lakes in Northeast Atlanta, giving you the perfect backdrop for those Instagram-worthy shots you’ve been wanting to take. It’s also completely placid, making it a great choice for picnics and hangs of all types. Looking to round out the perfect day on the water? Consider stopping by Bullfrogs Bar & Grille for some (seriously) good food. Local favorites include in-house roasted french dips, refreshingly cold BLTs, and signature southern-style BBQ ribs.
2. Fishing
Looking to learn how to fish, but aren’t sure where to start? Lake Lanier offers some of the best fishing opportunities in Northeast Atlanta, which you can enjoy via Georgia Lake Fishing concierge fishing charter services and guides. Their most popular service is Striped Bass fishing trips, where their experienced fishermen will teach you everything you need to know about luring and catching your very own Striped Bass. Lake Lanier is one of the best spots in the nation to catch this favorite fish, helping you to walk away with a newfound skill and delicious dinner.
P.S.: It doesn’t have to be summer to catch your delicious Striped Bass. Some of the biggest ones are caught in the transitional months of spring & fall – making now the best possible time to land your next catch!
3. Camping
Lake Lanier is one of the perfect places to get outside and connect with nature…and there’s no better way to do that than lakeside camping opportunities on the sandy beach! Shoal Creek Campground is one of the best ways to do this, offering you parking spots right up against the beach with private walkabouts and spacious plots. It’s great for those who don’t mind a more rustic camping experience or for those who have full-service RVs and pop-ups. It’s also tent-camping friendly, making this a great summer stop for families and children of all ages.
4. Swimming
Lake Lanier is one of the safest places to swim in Northeast Atlanta! It’s very clean and relatively free of wildlife and invasive avian populations, helping you enjoy a healthy and safe swimming experience. We do want to note that it is not recommended that you swim into the Chattahoochee River, which can get a lot of run-off and overgrowth of harmful bacteria.
If you plan to swim, be sure to stock up on sun care to protect your skin from the hot Atlanta rays. Consider getting a personalized sunscreen recommendation from the pros at Savvy Skincare before you hit the gorgeous Atlanta surf.
