Over the summer, Lake Lanier is covered with personal watercraft. From Buford Dam to Brown’s Bridge, it is hard to go one nautical mile without seeing the fast moving vessels. Since 2003, there have been two more PWCs on the water, but recreation is not the goal their operators — it’s safety and security.
