Corps stops issuing new dock permits on Lake Lanier
0909DOCKS
Fishermen troll along Lake Lanier near Sardis Creek Park in November. After hitting its dock permits limit of 10,615 on Lake Lanier, the Army Corps of Engineers will not be issuing any new dock permits until at least March.
Lake Lanier has reached its limit of 10,615 docks, so no new dock permits will be issued by the Army Corps of Engineers. However, the corps will revisit the number of dock permits every year and if any have become available in the meantime, starting in March, “we will review sites until those available permits have been issued,” Chief Ranger Ernest Noe said. “At this time, we have a list that is about 170 strong with people wanting to have their sites reviewed,” he added.
