No New Docks Until Lake Lanier Rises Foot and a Half

Real Estate - Dock Permits
Saturday, 16 December 2006

Because Lake Lanier is 8 feet under full pool, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has stopped issuing permits for new docks during the last three months.

That situation isn’t going to change until the lake rises at least another foot and a half.

“Before we can consider a permit, a ranger has to come out and inspect the property,” said Ryan Hartwig, chief ranger for the corps at Buford Dam.

“When the water is this low, it’s hard to estimate what conditions would be like at full pool, so it’s difficult for us to make a decision about the site.”

The new lease-holder of Lake Lanier Islands outlined a plan where electric cars, bicycles and Segways will share the road and part of the resort will look more and more like a national park.

Then there are the buildings: a lodge that will look like it has grown from the ground, cottages, a wellness center, a spa, yacht club and wedding chapel.

And that’s only the beginning.

Virgil Williams, who with his family purchased the lease on the Lake Lanier Islands and Emerald Pointe Resort last year, has a vision for the 1,100-acre property near Gwinnett’s northern tip that is much broader than golf courses and hotels.
