Fall 2012 Athletic Events & Races

September 21st, 2012

Come out and enjoy the best weather among the best surroundings here at Lake Lanier Islands Resort

It’s no wonder why there are so many more races in the South during the late Summer, Fall, and early winter months. It’s simply THE BEST time of year to not only be outside, but be active as well.

It’s not too hot and it’s not too cold. It’s just right for a little outdoor athleticism! We’ve compiled a list of our upcoming races being held here at Lake Lanier Islands and we hope that you’ll come out and enjoy not only the weather, but the chance to support physical fitness and wellness. In fact, we believe wellness should always be a top priority, which is why we constantly work to provide wellness programs for our corporate travelers staying at Legacy Lodge, as well as an extensive selection of both hiking and walking trails encompassing every one of our Islands. See the list of all our trails and download a map.

Self-Guided Fall Foliage Pontoon Tour

September 18th, 2012

Lake Lanier Islands were once mountaintops in the southern-most foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. This fact makes it the best place in Georgia to view the fall foliage. With over 38,000 acres of open water and miles of coastline marked by the beautiful colors of Fall to explore, the Self-Guided Fall Foliage Pontoon Tour streamlines your Lake Lanier adventure by booking your room, boat and breakfast reservations in one fell swoop. Starting at $259/nt*, the package includes overnight accommodations at Legacy Lodge, breakfast for four at the hotel’s Windows Restaurant, and a 4-hour pontoon boat rental from Harbor Landing to cruise the lake and admire the fall foliage.

*Does not include tax or resort charge. Rates are based on room availability and boat availability and are not valid with any other offer. Does not include gas for boat rental.

Enjoy LanierWorld over Labor Day Weekend with the 2-Day Family Fun Package!

August 22nd, 2012

Before the end of the LanierWorld season here at Lake Lanier Islands, we want to make sure that your and your family have a chance to enjoy all the water slides, rides, wave pool and everything else we have to offer!

Our current special package we’re offering is the 2-Day Family Fun Package, which includes:

  • 12 daily tickets to LanierWorld
  • 2-night stay at Legacy Lodge
  • 2-days of breakfast for 4 at Windows Restaurant, inside Legacy Lodge

2-Day Family Fun Package: $239/night

So, check-in at the Lodge on Saturday, grab your tickets to LanierWorld and enjoy the day at our water park. Spend the day at the park and your evening lakeside at Gianni’s Italian Bistro & Pizzeria or at Sunset Cove Cafe. Head back to the room after a day of fun, sleep in lush comfort, then wake up to a wonderful breakfast at our sun-filled dining room, Windows. Then, it’s time to get the kids ready, head back to LanierWorld, and do it all over again. The package includes enough tickets for 3 days of fun for a family of 4 at LanierWorld, so head over to the water park on Monday, or return for our final weekend September 8-9.

Also, be sure to check out our Labor Day weekend concerts at both Sunset Cove & Big Beach AND our fireworks display on Sunday night.
