Popular Georgia lakes
You can wakesurf among other water-based activities on Lake Lanier, about an hour northeast of Atlanta. It's a popular family destination all summer long, but the crowds really come out for the "Big 3" holidays, which are Memorial Day, July the 4th and Labor Day. Visitors can go rustic by taking advantage of lakeside camping, or can enjoy a more luxurious stay at Lake Lanier Island's Emerald Point Hotel.
