Lake Lanier Info

Laurel Park is one of the very best parks on Lake Lanier.

Set close to the venue for the 1996 Olympic rowing competition, it has tennis, baseball, softball and volleyball facilities in addition to a mile-long running track.

The park lies just off the Cleveland Highway, north of Gainesville, and continues to have new facilities added. The most recent addition is a "Bark Park", with space for large and small dogs to play in an enclosed area.

There are also two large boat ramps and a huge parking lot, which makes it a favorite launching area for busy summer days.
