Marinas provide the best sources for local knowledge on the Great Lakes of Georgia. Their dock masters know the area and can provide help for where to eat, where to stay and what to do. Their ship's stores provide boating supplies and equipment. Marina employees are also familiar with boating regulations and can provide assistance to make your vacation safe and enjoyable. Marinas are also good environmental stewards, offering pump-out stations and fuel docks, dry storage and boat slips to serve the needs of boaters.

Each year on the second Saturday in August, area marinas celebrate National Marina Day, an event for anyone who enjoys boating and being near the water. Check out the area marinas for guidance on making your Great Lakes of Georgia getaway enjoyable and safe.
