David Day walks to the Bolding Mill Park day-use area of rental picnic shelters. Day said he believes the proposed 425-slip will marina will compromise the park and campground’s current state.
A community group has formed to oppose the Army Corps of Engineers’ proposal to put its first public marina on the Chestatee River arm of Lake Lanier. Friends of Bolding Mill has started a campaign against the move, lining Chestatee Road with green “Save the Chestatee” signs and starting a website that features a petition page. “We feel that the marina is just not needed here,” said David Day, a nearby resident who spearheads the group.
