Van Pugh South Day Use Facility

Hosted by US Army Corps of Engineers

New listing

Van Pugh South Day Use Facility lies on the banks of Lake Sidney Lanier in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains of Northern Georgia. The popular lake boasts nearly 700 miles of shoreline and over 100 small islands, providing over 11 million annual visitors with limitless recreation opportunities. Lake Lanier offers excellent boating, fishing and swimming, with additional opportunities for kayaking, wake boarding and much more. The facility offers 54 small group picnic sites, some of which come with water and electricity. Amenities include picnic tables, grills, a fire ring, a dedicated site, dedicated parking and drinking water. A reservation guarantees entry and in and out privileges. Flush toilets, showers, an accessible boat ramp and a playground are also in the park. The reservoir was created in 1956 with the completion of Buford Dam on the Chattahoochee River, and today spans 38,000 acres of water in the lush foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Dense forests of oak, hickory and pine cover the region, providing shade in the day use facility and abundant wildlife habitat. Lake Lanier Islands is within driving distance and, along with other parks, provides many opportunities for outdoor recreation. There are several towns within driving distance that provide opportunities to explore.
