Enjoy the warm weather with a tour of Lake Lanier hosted by Chattahoochee Riverkeeper on Sept. 6.

Chattahoochee Riverkeeper (CRK) is hosting a tour of Lake Lanier on Sept. 6 aboard the Chota Princess II, our 40-foot catamaran. This will be the final Lake Lanier cruise of the year.

The community is invited to register for this popular tour, now in its second year. It is the perfect opportunity to relax on the lake, while learning great information from environmental experts. Registration is limited to 45 people.

Passengers will learn about the lake’s history, uses and current water quality, as well as issues that directly impact Lake Lanier and the Chattahoochee River. Participants also will learn how to take quality water samples.
