Lake Lanier Islands Looking to Expand to Local Parks |
 Big Creek Park Lake Lanier Islands is looking to take over the running of three local parks in the Flowery Branch area. All three are within a very close drive of the Islands:
- Shoal Creek Park, currently just a boat ramp
- Big Creek Park, also just a boat ramp
- Chestnut Ridge Park, closed by the Corps in 2006 because of budget problems.
The Islands' plans for the parks are as follows:
- Shoal Creek Park: build a major camping area with a new amenity center, swimming pool and store. One plan forsees a bridge from the park to the Islands.
- Big Creek Park: expand the boat ramp for use when water levels are low and construct 14 new picnic sites.
- Chestnut Ridge Park: reopen the park and use it for RV and tent camping.
