With nearly 700 miles of shoreline spread across 38,000 acres, it’s no wonder Lake Lanier has become a favorite destination for so many American travelers. With swimming, fishing, boating, kayaking and seasonal attractions available just steps from Camp Margaritaville RV Resort guests can simply pull in and enjoy the natural landscape.
While you can find plenty of things to do without ever leaving, there are a few nearby cities and towns that we enjoy visiting.
Although there are fewer than 500 residents, Helen is the state's third most visited city. It is a quaint Bavarian Village that will give you a glimpse of Germany. Stroll the downtown area and visit the many local shops and grab a delicious meal at one of the Bavarian-style restaurants that feature schnitzel, German potato pancakes, Goulash soup, and of course, some great in-house German brews. During the summer you can also go river-tubing.
Climb to the top of the tallest waterfall in Georgia, which drops 730 feet and has multiple tiers. There is also a trail leading to Springer Mountain, the southern endpoint of the Appalachian Trail.
There are so many things to do in Atlanta, but a "must-see" attraction on your list should be the Georgia Aquarium. Check out more than 60 exhibits featuring a variety of animals and habitats. Next door is the World of Coca-Cola, where you can interact with multiple exhibits, learn about the history of Coca-Cola, and sample more than 100 different beverages from around the world.
Dahlonega is the center of Georgia’s wine country! The vineyards include Frogtown Cellars, Cavender Creek Vineyards & Winery, Kava Vineyard and Winery, Montaluce Winery & Estates, Three Sisters Vineyards and Winery, and Wolf Mountain Vineyards & Winery. Plan to have lunch or dinner at The Smith House in Dahlonega, they have been serving home-cooked family-style meals since 1899.
