Holiday Marina
6900 Lanier Islands Parkway, Buford, GA 30518
The northern end of Lanier offers a different setting from the busy marinas farther south. At Don Carter State Park the Chattahoochee River meets the lake, with a swimming beach and wooded trails close together.
On the water
Plan your lake day
Bring a picnic to Don Carter, walk before the afternoon warms up, then spend time at the designated beach. Paddlers can choose a shorter route along the park shore.
Field notes
Before you go
Use the park’s Gainesville address. A navigation search for Lake Lanier Islands heads toward the resort area at the other end of the reservoir.
