Did you know there was a Lanier Lake in Hall County before our present Lake Lanier filled in the mid-1950s? It was a drop in the bucket compared to today’s lake, but nevertheless Lanier Lake was on the map behind the main Brenau College campus off today’s Perry Street. The lake in what was called Brenau Park later became known as “Little Brenau Lake,” and was the site of Camp Takeda, where young girls from Hall County and beyond would gather every summer back in the day.
