Calling all fun-lovers! Your summertime fun awaits just 45 miles northeast of Atlanta. If you love the outdoors, we’ve got something for you. Let’s jump right on in to 6 ways to have some fun in the sun in FoCo.

  1. Head over to Mary Alice Park for fun on the beach. Nestled alongside Lake Lanier, Mary Alice Park is the perfect place to have some fun for everyone in the family! Enjoy the sandy beach, designated swimming area, and picnic pavilion for only $10/day.
  2. Enjoy your very own private tiki party with Tiki Time Lake Lanier. Grab a few of your friends and hop aboard Chiki Tiki, TTLL’s very first boat, equipped with bar seats, lounge chairs and music! A perfect recipe for a good time.
  3. Wet your line on a charter fishing trip. FoCo has many talented and experienced fishermen who know all the sweet spots for fishing, like Captain Brandon Davis at Bent Rods Charter Company. Whether you’re a newbie to the fishing scene or want to get your hands on some great striper and spotted bass, you can’t go wrong on a charter trip. Check out other ways to charter on our “Do” page.
  4. Check glamping off your bucket list at Timberline Glamping’s first and original glamping space! Choose to relax on your very own site with included amenities like a wood fire pit,  hammocks, and picnic tables. Or take part in recreation opportunities like paddle boarding, kayaking, boating and swimming. There is even a mountain bike trail located close by at Charleston Park.
  5. Rent a Jetski for some exhilarating fun on the water! It truly doesn’t get more fun than catching some waves with a rental from one of two FoCo locations of Lanier Jet Ski.
  6. Cool off with a unique treat. FoCo is home to some delicious ways to cool off! Vampire Penguin at the brand new Cumming City Center has elevated the shaved ice game with pillowy, ice cold confections beyond your wildest dreams. Halcyon hot-spot Popbar is the place-to-go if for a customized icy treat tailored just for you. Either one will have a smile on your face…or get both and smile even more. 🙂
