Lake Sidney Lanier is the place where Atlanta water lovers spend their time. Offering 38,000 acres of pristine waters, this lake's popularity is heightened with such a close proximity to Atlanta. Lake Lanier Islands, a resort and waterpark on the southernmost shore, offers remnants of mountain tops unsubmerged when the man-made lake was formed. Scenic coves and wooded peninsulas surround this cathartic body of water.
