Do you boat on Lake Lanier? Do you buy gas for your boat on the lake, or do you carry gas to your boat? If you buy gas from one of Lake Lanier's marinas, which is your favorite gas stop and why? For a moment, forget the marina's food, beverages and other offerings. Where is your favorite Lake Lanier gas stop that is on the water?
These are just a few questions that I have for those of you considering buying a home on Lake Lanier. I know, this questioning sounds a bit crazy! Consider the map of Lake Lanier marinas shown below. Do you notice anything unusual? Is anything missing?
One of the things that is often overlooked when doing a Lake Lanier property search is the nearest marina or gas stop location to the property. Lake Lanier is a big lake, touching on five counties. As the map shows, most of the marinas and gas stops are on the south end of the lake, south of Browns Bridge Road. North of Browns Bridge, things become a bit less commercialized. Marinas, food and gas stops are scarce. You have a choice. You can head up the Chattahoochee River towards Gainesville and enjoy Gainesville Marina and the wonderful dining spot at Skogies. Or, you can head up the Chestatee River towards Dawsonville and enjoy the wonderful gas stop at Athens Boat Club. But you won't find a public restaurant here. You'll only find the very nicest and kind folks serving up fuel for your boat, treats for your dog and friendly conversation. I love Athens Boat Club and their great service! My dog loves them too! They provide excellent service to us folks that reside near the Chestatee River, Thompson Creek and Nix Bridge. So, I think they need some publicity. Which brings me to my next point. They are not listed on the Google map of marinas on Lake Lanier. If you're like me and you're a Fan of Athens Boat Club, let us know, join the Athens Boat Club Facebook Page and help get them on the map!
