These maps are based on USGS Quad sheet data, aerial photography and hand collected GPS data and GIS data.  They are intended to serve as only a general guide to Lake Lanier.   Lake bottom contours and depths are approximate and subject to change.  Buoy and hazard marker locations are also approximate and may not be in place due to changing water elevations, storm and wave action, vandalism or other causes.  Submerged objects such as trees, rocks, stumps etc. exist on the lake and may not be shown.  Boaters should be observant and use caution at all times. The US Army Corps of Engineers does not assume any responsibility for the accuracy of navigation data. 

To report damaged or missing navigation markers or unmarked hazards please contact us.

All maps are projected at 1:20,000 scale where 1 inch = approximately 0.32 miles.

New features:

Fish Attractors Blue circles with a fish indicate the locations of Fish Attractors place around the lake.  These are piles of recycled Christmas Trees anchored to the bottom of the lake.

 

 

Boat Ramp elevations are measured in relation to Mean Sea Level (MSL) at the lowest point of  the end of the ramp.  Ramps are usually closed when the lake level has dropped to within 3.5 vertical feet of water which causes an unsafe condition for launching.  To calculate ramp closures, add 3.5 feet to the ramp elevation. (Example: Lanier Park elevation 1058.7’ + safe launching depth 3.5’ = ramp will close at lake elevation 1062.2’ MSL.)

Powerline crossings are measured in relation to Mean Sea Level (MSL) at the lowest point of the wire over the water.  Subtract the current lake elevation from the powerline elevation to calculate clearance. (Example:  Big Creek Crossing 1110’ - Lake Elevation 1070’ = 40’ clearance.)

Bridge Elevations are measured in relation to Mean Sea Level (MSL) at the lowest point  of the bottom of the bridge. To calculate the clearance subtract the current lake elevation from the bridge elevation. (ex: Richard B. Russell Bridge 1085’ – Lake Elevation 1070’ = 15’ clearance.)
