Autumn Boating At Lake Lanier! Video Of Our Trip To Gainesville Marina & Lunch At Skogies Restaurant!

These Autumn weekends at Lake Lanier are prime time for boating and enjoying the lake!  We have been taking full advantage of the cooler temperatures and beautiful weather.  There is just no better time to get out on Lake Lanier, do some boating and explore the gorgeous setting on the water.  Last weekend was a little cloudy, but the rain held off on Sunday.  It allowed us to get out and head towards a lunch break at Skogies at Gainesville Marina.  My menu favorite?  The fish tacos and a side of sweet potato fries.  I took plenty of photos of the marina and dining spot, just in case you've never been to Gainesville Marina by boat.  Here's what we saw.  And, by the way, if you're interest in homes for sale in Gainesville, check out our website page of Lake Lanier homes for sale in Gainesville.

Dining At Skogies At Gainesville Marina! A Picnic Under The Trees With A View Of The Boat Slips!

Last week, I was able to take the SeaRay out for lunch on Lake Lanier on a couple of occasions.  One of those outings was a lunch stop at Skogies, which is located at Gainesville Marina.  We've dined outside under the trees at Skogies on a number of occasions.  The food is the big draw at Skogies, and as waterfront dining on Lake Lanier stacks up, Skogies delivers consistently good food.  I really enjoy the fish tacos and my wife always likes the Grouper fingers.  When you bring man's best friend, you'll be dining at the tables in the shade just outside the restaurant.  That was the case for us last week.  Here's a shot of my lake navigator, Beignet, as she waits for a few table scraps.

Beignet loves the picnic area and food at Skogies at Gainesville Marina!

As we waited on delivery of our order, I played around with the video camcorder on my phone.  Here is a short 180 degree video of the view from under the trees at the picnic tables at Skogies in Gainesville.

Lake Lanier Dining Waterside! At Skogies & Gainesville Marina!

Lunch on Lake Lanier is always an event!  Today, we headed to Skogies Restaurant at Gainesville Marina on Lake Lanier.  What a beautiful, sunny day to enjoy waterside dining.  We posted in the past about Skogies good food and picnic style dining under the shade.  It's a great place to stop for lunch or dinner, and you can always bring your dog!

Today we had the fried Grouper fingers and the blackened Grouper fish tacos.  Absolutely delicious and always motivating for us to plan a return trip soon.  Everyone should try Skogies and its superb menu.  Check it out at the link below!

We managed to get a few quick pics of Gainesville Marina as we approached the restaurant.  This is just a scenic area and a great getaway for a week day lunch!

Lake Lanier Marinas & Athens Boat Club!

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!

Lake Lanier Real Estate Today!

We're starting off the week with a scan of the FMLS for new properties for sale on Lake Lanier.  Our Custom searches have uncovered this recent listing for sale at 5683 Kegs Circle in Oakwood with nice water and lake frontage.  What a price! $189,900!  This one's sure to please a lot of the eager lake buyers looking for an inexpensive, enjoyable getaway!

We're working on putting together a lake lot purchase and noticed many changes in the GAR land contract.  FYI, if you haven't purchased a lot or land tract in the past six months, there are some big additions to our contracts!

We continue to get many requests for information on homes for rent.  We really are in need of lakefront and off lake homes for Property Management Inventory and rental availability.  We welcome the opportunity to discuss the option of renting your home versus selling.  The rental market is hot, hot, HOT!

It was a big weekend out on Lake Lanier this past Saturday and Sunday.  There were long waits at the restaurants and lake businesses.  The weather was phenomenal, as expected.  Reports we're getting are that favorites like Skogies and Pelican Pete's were packed!  Here are a couple of photos from our table outside at Skogies:
