Some 60 reports of abandoned and rundown docks and boats on Lake Lanier have been resolved since an organized effort began in 2015. “Some (have been) more complex and expensive than others,” the Lake Lanier Association said in a news release issued Saturday, June 23. The latest incident happened last week, when an association member took photos of a local contractor dumping material at an unauthorized location on the lake and sent them to the association.
