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.

The Lake Lanier Association extends our deepest condolences to the family and loved ones of Brian Pietro, who passed away on May 31, 2026.
Brian was a longtime Shore Sweep site captain and a true friend of the Lake Lanier Association. For 10 years, he served as a site captain at Gwinnett Park, generously giving his time, energy, and dedication to one of the Lake Lanier Association’s largest annual programs.
In memory of Brian, a tribute to his legacy will appear on the sleeve of all 1,200+ Shore Sweep 2026 T-shirts. As we gather for a day of service, we are honored to remember and celebrate his dedication to protecting the lake he cared so deeply about. 💙

We’re excited to announce that the Lake Lanier Association is one of two local nonprofits selected to benefit from proceeds from this year’s Pirates Of Lanier Poker Runs!
Under new management this year, the Poker Run is shaping up to be an exciting weekend on Lake Lanier, bringing boaters and our community together for fun, competition, and a great cause.
And what better way to enjoy one of the last warm weekends on the lake than by hitting the water, enjoying the festivities, and dressing up like a pirate? 🏴☠️ 🚤
The Lake Lanier Poker Run is September 25th & 26th, and we’d love to see you out there! Sign up, gather your crew, dress up, or come out and enjoy the excitement while supporting the Lake Lanier Association and Georgia K9 Search & Recovery. Boats of all sizes are invited to join the fun!
