Lake Lanier is among the 18 most beautiful places in Georgia to visit, according to Southern Living. The magazine also includes nearby Helen, Dahlonega, the Chattahoochee-Oconee National Forest and Tallulah Gorge State Park are on the list.

What does the publication say about Lake Lanier?

“Just around 45 minutes from Atlanta, man-made Lake Lanier is as pretty as it is expansive, stretching 38,000 acres. A favorite summer destination for Georgia natives, there are plenty of activities to partake in, from enjoying a boat day or kayaking the lake’s many bays and isles. Sunsets here are the epitome of the beauty of Southern lake days.”
