The next topic for today has to do with Lake Lanier's shoreline and interaction with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.  When we are showing properties on the lake, we are always asked about the rules regarding the shoreline, paths, grounds maintenance and dock permits.  For clarification, we always refer clients to the online version of the Shoreline Management Plan.  In this plan, you'll find many answers to most of your questions regarding these issues.  The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is very clear about its rules and regulations for the shoreline of Lake Lanier.  We have a link to the plan on our website at LakeSidneyLanierHomes.com .
