216? Someone must only be looking in spot. I live near this lake and have a boat. I would NEVER eat any fish from Lanier.

Most every weekend, there is at least 1 or two deaths by drowning.

Lanier is a cursed lake. Built over several cemeteries and the bodies not removed. There is an old stock car track under water. The water in Lanier is so murky and disgusting.

Lemme guess; didn’t vent the engine chamber before hitting the ignition. Or maybe launching fireworks from the rear deck platform. Being the fourth and all.

I’ve lived in Georgia all my life, and I’ve never heard of Lake Lanier being called a “haunted” lake.

Now I have read article after article of drownings and boat crashes but those have usually involved alcohol, ignorance, and stupidity. Many people think they can buy a boat and take it to the lake without any instructions on how to operate the thing.

“ hundreds have died,”

And that’s just since President Trump signed the OBBB yesterday.
