FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, which manages Lake Lanier, tells Channel 2 Action News that it is planning to close more than 20 lakeside parks due to government budget cuts. “I hate to hear that they’re closing them. Sorry to hear that,” said boater John Howkins.

Lake Lanier has 76 recreational areas. The US Army Corps of Engineers operates 37 parks and campgrounds, 10 marinas, and Lake Lanier Islands. It leases out 40 parks and campgrounds to local governments and other organizations.

It isn’t yet known if the parks slated for closure are Corps-operated or leased, and if there is a timeline for closings.

“We really like coming to Lake Lanier. We love exploring the parks and hanging out. It’s a beautiful area. The closing of parks really does bother me, because a lot of people enjoy these parks. They really like coming out here. It’s a great place for kids to come out and play, too,” said visitor Billy Brown.

She said many of these areas are along the lake that is partly located in 45-land and the people there ain't gonna like this!
