Forsyth County videos

Our Forsyth County videos give visitors a real look at what a day here feels like. For example, you might see sunrise on Lake Lanier or a table on a restaurant patio at dusk. These Forsyth County videos are meant to help you picture your trip before you even pack the car. In particular, they show boats heading out from a lakeside marina and a local guide walking a favorite trail.

More highlight videos of Forsyth County are coming soon. So, check back often for the latest looks at the lake, local dining, and outdoor adventures across the county. In addition, we add new footage throughout the year as events, restaurants, and attractions change. As a result, this page stays a current snapshot of what a Forsyth County visit can look like.

Planning a visit? First, pair these Forsyth County videos with our Things To Do guide for a full rundown of trails, water access points, and attractions. Then, browse Lake Life for everything happening on Lake Lanier.
