Billed as the final Lanier cruise of the year, residents are invited to register for the tour, which is in its second year. Participants will be allowed to relax while gathering information about the lake history, uses and water quality and issues that impact the lake as well as the Chattahoochee River.

They will also learn how to take quality water samples.
