Wildlife: You might catch a glimpse of some of our local wildlife enjoying their natural habitat! From charming box turtles to elegant deer, these creatures love calling the lake and woods home. Please admire them from a distance and let them be—they thrive best that way! And while box turtles may be adorable, remember that it’s illegal to keep them.

Other Notes:
☆☆Liability Waiver☆☆
☀ The terrain on Lake Lanier ranges from gentle slope to very steep. The flatter the walk, the shallower the water. The walk to our docks is considered moderate sloping for this lake. My parents, both in their 70s, handle the walk just fine.
☀ Please be careful as it is a lake property with uneven surfaces, slope & steps. Negligence may cause a slip and fall, and care must be taken, especially with younger children.
☀ Also, you understand the potential dangers and risks associated with water activities, dock access and take appropriate safety precautions, and assume responsibility for yourself and any consequences caused by your party. There is no lifeguard on duty so swim at your own risk.
☀ Children under 13 should wear a life jacket around the water. We provide life jackets, but may not have them in every size
More info:
☀ If inclement weather occurs, the umbrella by the outdoor fireplace needs to be closed, and the outdoor furniture needs to be covered.
☀All dock items and lake toys should also be put back to avoid a fee. ☀Follow checkout instructions - check for personal items.
☀ Bag all trash and put it in outside trash can - Wednesday pick-up
☀Please disclose pets at the time of reservation. Pit Bulls, Doberman Pinschers, and Rottweilers are not allowed due to insurance liability. Gwinnett County law requires dogs to be on a leash. The pet fee is $200.00 for up to 2 dogs.
☀NO cats, due to severe allergies.
