HALL COUNTY, Ga. — Friends of Lake Lanier, a nonprofit organization devoted to supporting campgrounds at Lake Lanier and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, announced its dissolution effective Jan. 1.
The group announced the move on social media at the end of December.
“We are deeply grateful for the love, trust, and support from our community over the years,” the group said in its statement.
A reason for the move wasn’t disclosed. Channel 2 Action News reached out to the group for more information.
Friends of Lake Lanier said it worked alongside agencies, volunteers and community members to enhance the visitor experience at the lake.
“FLL was designed to keep funding on Lake Lanier by providing support and services to parks, campgrounds, waterways, properties, and jurisdictions that are managed by the COE. FLL partners with senior leadership of the COE to identify and fund these areas of need,” the organization said on its web page. Its projects included life jacket donations.
The organization encourages the public to contact independent campgrounds or the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in the future for assistance.
