Visit Lake Lanier Islands to play golf, have fun at the waterpark, or rent one of the 53 foot houseboats to cruise the lake. The Emerald Pointe Golf Club was designed for both expert and novice golfers in mind. The par-72, 18 hole championship course is set near Lake Sidney Lanier and offers spectacular scenery. After a round of golf, relax on the resort's white sandy beach.
Lake Lanier Islands Beach & Waterpark offers rides, slides, and water attractions. Guests can ride Wild Waves, Georgia's largest wave pool or try one of the other rides, including FunDunker, the Intimidator, the Twister, SplashDown, and Triple Threat.
Whether you are looking for a romantic getaway or planning a family vacation, you can rent one of the houseboats equipped with a kitchen, a heated spa on the deck, a water slide and a gas grill. A houseboat can accommodate up to 10 people and travel anywhere on the lake with its 115 hp engine.
