Partnerships help keep Lake Lanier safe!

Thank you to the Lake Lanier Association (LLA) for stopping by the Lake Lanier Project Management Office and donating more than 150 life jackets to support the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Life Jacket Loaner Program on Lake Lanier. Between the Life Jacket Loaner Stations located throughout 36 USACE parks and the additional 12 stations monitored by the LLA, we work together to help visitors stay safe while enjoying time on the water.

🚨LLA Alert! 🚨Some lake goers have reported a suspected algae bloom on Lake Lanier in a single cove in Cu***ng on the Six Mile Embayment. 🦠

AVOID swimming if you notice ~
💧 Discolored water
💧 Unusual smell or odor
💧 Green or blue scum

Once an algal bloom appears, there is little that can be done until it naturally goes away, but it’s important to document the occurrence. These blooms can make people and pets sick through skin contact, ingestion, or inhalation.

If you suspect a harmful algae bloom (HAB), you can report it to LLA by visiting lakelanier.org or contacting the Georgia Environmental Protection Division. ⬅️

Please join us in wishing Clyde Morris a very happy birthday! 🎉

Clyde is a native of Baltimore and an alumnus of the University of Virginia. He moved to the Atlanta area in 1975 to attend law school at Emory and never left. His introduction to the Lake started with a visit to Lake Lanier Islands during law school and continued when he taught himself to roll a whitewater kayak and brought his family to visit years later.

He bought a weekender on the lake in 2001 and moved up full time in 2007. His involvement with LLA began when he noticed an LLA sticker on the door of his newly-purchased lake home, which prompted him to contact Val Perry, LLA’s president at the time, to volunteer. He’s been working with the board ever since and represented LLA for many years in the “Water Wars” with Florida and Alabama. His work in those cases brought widespread recognition of Lake Lanier’s vital role and garnered LLA visibility for its role in helping to keep the lake full, clean, and safe.

Happy Birthday, Clyde! 🥳

A few weeks back, LLA hosted its second *member exclusive* Lunch and Learn of 2026! During the event, LLA members, sponsors, staff, and board members got to learn about the history of Lake Lanier and the creation of Buford Dam! 💧

We appreciate David Coughlin, local author and historian, sharing his time and insight with attendees. After such a meaningful discussion, we are more knowledgeable about the lake we all know and love!

Special thanks to Lennys Subs for generously providing boxed lunches for all participants. Their support helped make the event a huge success! 💙
