⭐️ PROGRAM SPOTLIGHT ⭐️ The LLA has exciting news regarding Project Armor! The purpose of this initiative is to rip rap 16 additional islands around Lake Lanier to help prevent erosion. 🌅
Skip Short, the LLA board member overseeing this project, said, “We are excited to announce that the first of 16 locations is underway, with riprap expected to be in place by the end of October. The area kicking off Project Armor is the north side of the entrance to Bald Ridge Creek off the main lake. If you are able to drive by in your boat, there is a large sign visible where we identify the efforts of LLA and all the support from our valued partners. This sign will follow the project efforts of the other 15 areas, so be on the lookout for it since it is with your generous support that this project is even possible.”
The LLA mission is to keep this beautiful reservoir as clean, full, and safe as possible and this is one of the many projects currently underway to accomplish that goal. Look for a full project update in LLA’s next newsletter publication, the Lanier Outlook.
We could not do any of this without the support of the local counties, business sponsorships, personal memberships, and donations. 💙 A special shoutout to Marine Specialties for their ongoing involvement with this project!
Please consider financially supporting Project Armor - with your help, we can accomplish BIG things! 💥 Visit lakelanier.org to learn more!

While I understand the need for this in some areas I hope that this will not be the plan for most islands. A big part of enjoying our lake is being able to beach the boat and swim and float and enjoy the island.
Wow that is a lot of erosion. The natural rock on the right in the first photo shows how well it protected the shoreline.
Noticed this late Sun evening when my wife and I went out for a Cocktail Cruise. Saw the tracks on the beach and cloth laid down and figured it was next to receive rip wrap. Thanks LLA for your efforts in saving our shorelines! The many boaters who beach there aren’t gonna be happy about it though! 🤪

Do you remember the 21st of September? We sure do! ✨ Just one month ago, the community came together for the 36th Annual Lake Lanier Shore Sweep! 🌊🧹 It was an amazing day filled with cleaning up our beloved lake and coming together over that one common goal. Over 1,200 volunteers helped remove over 85 TONS of trash from Lanier! 💥
👉 Relive the amazing day, via our Shore Sweep 2024 recap video. Linked below!
Special Thank You to our Shore Sweep Sponsors: United Rentals, WaterSports Central, Marine Specialties and hansgrohe 💙
