Nestled in the northern region of Georgia is an artificial reservoir, Lake Lanier. It was developed in the 1950s to provide electric power and protect the state from floods. Nearby the lake, you’ll find pristine beaches, botanical gardens, and hiking trails. You should also not miss the magical lights display at Margaritaville. Additionally, historians believe that some unidentified graves lie in the depths of the water as the lake covered previous community cemeteries. If you are looking for a unique and spine-chilling experience, why not give this destination a shot?
When visiting, opportunities for outdoor watersports are abundant. However, if you prefer not to mingle with crowds, choose a place that allows you to have a private plunge. Read on for the best vacation rentals with private pool near Lake Lanier, Georgia.
