Little River Park on Lake Lanier

Home

Little River Park is one of the smaller parks on the lake and is tucked just off Cleveland Highway, north of Gainesville. The park is a popular spot for early morning fishermen and is one of the best bass fishing areas on Lake Lanier.

How to get there: Head north out of Gainesville on Highway 129, heading towards Cleveland. You’ll pass Riverbend Elementary on the right and will cross over Lake Lanier via Longstreet Bridge. There will be a State Patrol office on the right. Shortly afterwards, there will be a small gas station on the left with “Solo” pumps. Turn into the little street beside this station onto Little River Park Road, turn left and head down “Little River Park Road” for about a 1/4 of a mile.
