Lake Sidney Lanier - COE/Old Federal

Lake Sidney Lanier is a large reservoir located in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains in northern Georgia. It was created in the 1950s by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers as part of the Apalachicola-Chattahoochee-Flint River Basin Project. The lake is named after the American poet Sidney Lanier and is located near the city of Flowery Branch. The lake is a popular destination for fishing, boating, swimming, and other recreational activities. It is also home to a variety of wildlife, including bald eagles, ospreys, and great blue herons. The lake is surrounded by several state parks and wildlife management areas, making it a great spot for outdoor enthusiasts.

Wish they could update shower house. Wish they had sewer hookups. Otherwise sites, campers, service and activities including the views are top notch. One of my favorites!

Campsite #72 highly recommended. Also campsite #75 is very private, it's pretty big and shaded. I love this place!

Campground has been taken over by jetskiers killing the tranquility and managers does squat. Site 16 picnic table was stolen by jetskiers not part of the campground and who brought it to the beach. Too bad. Lots of potential but management must ensure order to ensure everyone has a great time.
