Our Work
Together with our 4,500 members, we strive to preserve Lake Lanier's water quality and quantity for everyone who relies on the lake and its watershed to enhance their quality of life.
We work to meet this goal by focusing our programs on these key priority areas.
Ready to Jump In?
Since 1966, we have been working to protect Lake Lanier and its surroundings. We are the voice of citizens around the lake and across the region, striving to represent all aspects and users of the lake including wildlife, fish, homeowners and recreational users. With your help we can continue to preserve and protect this important natural resource.
60th Anniversary Gala
Please join us for LLA’s first-ever gala on Thursday, November 12th, at Lanier Islands Resort. The evening will bring together community leaders and friends of Lake Lanier for dinner, drinks, entertainment, and fundraising in celebration of our shared commitment to the lake.
Purchasing a ticket is more than a fun night out—it’s an investment in the future of Lake Lanier. Sponsorship opportunities are also available for those who would like to make an even greater investment in LLA’s mission and future.

It’s about that time… Last night, Shore Sweep Site Captains met at the LLA office to prepare for the 38th annual cleanup!
Site Captains are “super volunteers” as we like to call them 😉 and we count on them to help make Shore Sweep a success each year! Site Captains provide structure, assistance and aren’t afraid to get a little dirty. Each Site Captain helps ensure that the 15 Shore Sweep sites and 1,200+ Shore Sweep volunteers stay safe and have fun during the cleanup. 🗑️
Please take the time to thank them in the comments! A big THANK YOU to each of these individuals - and a few not pictured - we couldn’t do it without their help.
Mark your calendars for September 19th and visit lakelanier.org/shore-sweep/ for registration, site details, and MORE. ⬅️ ...

🚨 LLA Alert! 🚨 A lake goer has reported a suspected algae bloom on Lake Lanier by Bald Ridge Creek near BR6 (across from the Girl Scout camp). 🦠
Always AVOID swimming if you notice ~
💧 Discolored water
💧 Unusual smell or odor
💧 Green or blue scum
Once an algal bloom appears, there is little that can be done until it naturally goes away, but it’s important to document the occurrence. These blooms can make people and pets sick through skin contact, ingestion, or inhalation.
If you suspect a harmful algae bloom (HAB), you can report it to LLA by visiting lakelanier.org or contacting the Georgia Environmental Protection Division. ⬅️ ...
