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.

🌟 Shore Sweep is tomorrow! Hundreds of volunteers have pre-registered and we cannot wait to see you all out there! 🌟
Not registered? No worries. Everyone can come out and clean up! Pick a site, come ready to roll up your sleeves and leave feeling great about your impact on Lake Lanier.
Trash drop off and supply pickup will be open from 8:00 AM - 1:00 PM at all sites. This is a drop in event. Pick up trash on your way to the site for drop off at the dumpsters, pick up your supplies first then head out to clean, or do a combination of the two. Walkers that do not check-in before 10:00 AM will be considered a no-show.

‼️ PSA: Shore Sweep Advanced Sites close TOMORROW (Friday, September 18th) at sundown! ‼️
If you can’t make it to Shore Sweep on Saturday and have some time on your hands today, be sure to get out there and help clean up Lake Lanier. Just be sure that you secure all debris high enough where it will not flow back into Lanier.
LLA has dedicated crews to help retrieve all trash and debris from these sites over the next few days. Advanced Sites are not open year-round.
