    Awesome park in the Grayson Community of Gwinnett. County. Be sure to check out the path around the lake. Its beautiful park that is well kept and not heavily visited.

    It was a really great part to hang out in on a Sunday afternoon the wind was calm it was serene and pleasant I love the lake and going through little kids maze I got lost a little bit it was fun.

    Trains statues and turtles Vine Park is an eighty acre park that has lots of little bridges, a wonderful pond filled with turtles and fish, pavilions, bathrooms, a half mile walking path around the pond and a very cool and unexpected model railroad display. Unfortunately we arrived in the late afternoon and the model railroad was put away for the day but all the other cool and interesting things were still present. The half mile walking around the pond is very pleasant with a nice paved path that crosses several little bridges and goes by lots of cool plants and flowers. Lots of weird statues of various Greek gods or at least that's what it looked like. A fascinating and peaceful park that can be rented out for weddings and activities or just visited for a casual stroll. Not a huge place but certainly a park with unique and lovely things to keep a visitor entertained.

    A very nice and scenic area. There are some hidden gems in this park if you take your time while exploring. Was a great picnic spot with the family.

    Our main purpose there was to see if we could catch a charmander for pokemon go and although we never found one, the park itself is too great to miss out on.

    This is a really really nice park. Great for views and fresh air. I do share some of the same…read moresentiments as in previous reviews, besides the customer service. Bill and Kade were kind to me and my guests and provided good customer service. However, after all of the excitement and determination to make the weekend great for The Husband's 50th, I don't think I will return. It was a very difficult balance to celebrate in such a quiet calm place. We were asked not to play loud vulgar music, but the aux was passed and there it goes. Bill wasn't rude but...I don't know. The issue was resolved and we still ended up having a great time. In hindsight I am feeling the cost for the rental of the pavilion was a bit expensive with no contracts and such...I don't know, but because I had such a great time it's a shrug ‍ I still liked it better than renting a section in the club. The pavilion is really nice and huge with several fire pits conveniently placed to enjoy your stay. They sold me a stack for the pits for $20. We had a trailer pulled to the camp site for $45 a night. Make sure you confirm the size and amps needed. It was almost an issue. I'm a novice at camping. The paddle boats could use an update/upgrade. I would recommend you go here if you want to camp not party we had our friend pull a truck in for some good BBQ all of his cuisines ate great though! The camper was rented through Better Travels LLC, Rhett or go to outdoorsy.com. Rhett was amazing!!! He was professional and safe . He and his driver worked out complications with the sight to place the camper due to miscommunication. Thanks Rhett!!!!

    Haven't been here but I've seen the area. It looks nice but I've heard so many complaints about the…read moreowners I wouldn't want to visit. Way too many nice lakes in ga to fish and Camp than to deal with hawks looking over your every move. Not to mention $60 a night to camp is a complete JOKE!!

Lodge/hotel lodging with spacious rooms with the treat of a Keurig in each room. A truly heated pool with poolside service or indoor or patio eating.

Plenty of options on the property with golf, pickle ball, game room and water park.

    I'm very surprised Lake Lanier has so few reviews. After all, it was one of the water sport venues…read moreof the 1996 Olympics, one of the most popular summertime destinations in the state. Most any warm season holiday is celebrated at Lake Lanier making it a popular place for vacation rental homes. Here you can go boating, fishing, swimming, hiking, golfing, as well as experience a fabulous fireworks show in the summer or Christmas lights and snow sleds in the winter. There is a spa, a beach, a waterpark, a luxury resort and good times @ Margaritaville. You can rent jet skis, go horseback riding, charter a fishing boat, rent a house boat, go camping or take a hot air balloon ride nearby. It was created by the completion of Buford Dam on the Chattahoochee River in 1956, and named for Confederate Army poet Sidney Lanier. Its primary purpose was for flood control and water supplies and has a water volume of about 1,049,400 acre-ft. The narrative will tell you its construction destroyed more than 50,000 acres of farmland and displaced more than 250 families, 15 businesses, and relocated 20 cemeteries along with their corpses in the process. But I want to pause here and dive a little deeper under the surface of its waters and introduce you to: [ OSCARVILLE, GEORGIA ] "The truth is rarely pure and never simple." ― Oscar Wilde Lake Lanier is partially located in Forsyth county. It is a county that prided itself on not having black residence so much that Oprah came to film an episode of her Emmy Award-winning talk show here in 1987 (trigger warning): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WErjPmFulQ0 The show makes mention that "no black person had lived in the county for 75 years", which was a direct reference to a predominantly African-American community known as Oscarville. It was home to 1,100 black people prior to a racial conflict in 1912 which was so brutally violent that it caused blacks to flee the county... even those who were landowners. "According to Elliot Jaspin, a historian and journalist quoted by the Digital Library of Georgia and the New Georgia Encyclopedia, only about 24 of the nearly 40 Black landowners in Forsyth County at the time were able to sell their land. The other properties have no record of sale, and some believe the abandoned land was simply taken by White residents." - The Times Oscarville began as a small farming town around 1870, but after so many fled the county in 1912, it was practically a ghost town. Those still claiming ownership of their land either had it seized or were "asked" to to forfeit their land to build the Buford Dam by Newport Dam Development according to an article published on April 6, 2021 by The Signal. Prior to the violence, Oscarville was actually known for its agricultural prowess in fighting off the boll weevil infestation that hindered many farm crops and enriching the soil with chicken feces. A technique that has been duplicated to this day to revive poor farming/gardening soil. "Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored." ― Aldous Huxley [ MUST WATCH ] Link to Oscarville | The Town Submerged by Lake Lanier (Intrigued Mind): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ifMKfBO_R6s [ FINAL THOUGHTS ] Lake Lanier is a beautiful lake and a rich resource for Atlanta. It provides approx. 70% of the drinking water for Metro Atlanta as well as power, recreation and businesses. But there is more than what meets the eye as you look across its glistening surface. An entire town is buried by its waters and has been nearly forgotten, and the hard truth is this is not an isolated story. There are several other towns across the country who suffered the same fate. They include: Kowaliga (Benson), Alabama Seneca Village In New York City Susannah, Alabama and Vanport, Oregon The story of Lake Lanier and Oscarville will be featured in an upcoming TV series called Oscarville - Below the Surface. Here is the link to the trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yVux8Y96cok Thanks for reading. 2022 / 59 #BlackHistorySeries
