Hiking at Lake Lanier, Georgia (02-MAY-2015)
Lake Lanier (officially Lake Sidney Lanier) is a reservoir in North Georgia. It was created by the completion of Buford Dam on the Chattahoochee River in 1956, and is also fed by the waters of the Chestatee River. The lake encompasses 38,000 acres or 59 square miles of water, and 692 miles of shoreline at normal level, a "full summer pool" of 1,071 feet above mean sea level. It was named for poet Sidney Lanier, and was built and is operated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

According to the archaeological record, the Muskogeans (known as the Creek Indians) were living within the boundaries of this lake since around 300 BC. Chattahoochee Countys Creek Indians had amicable relations the Colony of Georgia and then with the State of Georgia up until the 1800s...

p1 What a beautiful place beautifully documented. Interesting history too.
Very nice photos so far. :thumbup:
This past week the wind was blowing strong enough from the right direction so we had some waves breaking on the shore.

Thanks. Yes, you had to be there but at 6 frames per second and around 300 shots something nice was bound to show up.
Took our houseguest down to one of the beaches this week. 2 views of one fence because I can't decide which I like best yet. The clouds and sky were very dramatic.
