  • Here's a compilation of lake lanier photos taken around lake lanier islands on november 11 2007. the first few photos are an old wooden boat. Some interesting finds include several engine block clusters, sleeper sofa, picnic table, car batteries, old Gainesville (Looper) race track grandstands, and oh yeah -- lots of budweiser cans and Jack Daniels bottles :) Music by Slightly Stoopid -- Jimi

      While Oscarville has a fucked up history, the lake itself is not evil. Dams control flooding and provide pollution free energy. Air pollution from burning fossil fuels and flooding are two major killers.

People dive off there boats and get a tree trunk ,rebar,a branch in the eye and when there's a drought it's worse. I almost bought PROPERTY at lake Lanier and saw the drought and new SOMETHING else was going on here so we started asking around and we got the answer's we were shocked of the town and unmarked graves farm structure's and trees 35 feet and under left standing WTF no wonder so many people die on that lake every year stay clear of that cursed lake. 😱💀👻

    Very cool pics! I remember going to several parks on Lake Lanier back then and collecting lots of old bottles, one was a very old beer bottle that was still sealed. I went down to the race track grandstands, was sad to see that kids had broken many of the steps that had survived underwater. Old Federal campground was nice, Off the beach area was the foundation for a house and many tree stumps with roots exposed.The wood from the house was gone but there were still many rusty nails left behind.

    When you consider Lanier has 700 miles of shoreline, I'd guess that the total water in the lake was less than 50% of the amount when full. Atlanta simply has to stop growing. There isn't enough water. The same is true in many other parts of the country, including Sourthern California.
