Legacy
The Lake Lanier Olympic Venue was built for the 1996 Olympic Rowing and Canoe/Kayak Competitions. The original timing tower remains today and is the last remaining venue from the 1996 Olympic Games that continues to be used for its original purpose.
Happening Now
Today when you visit Lake Lanier Olympic Park you will experience so much more than rowing. It has individual picnic sites, beach, boat ramp, as well as the rowing and canoe/kayaking facility. You can relax on the sandy beach, enjoy a picnic and a good book in Fields Memorial Butterfly garden, or take a walk through the park taking in wonderful art. If you enjoy fishing, there’s a great shoreline to cast a line. Or you may enjoy simply taking at the moment knowing you are walking where Champions walk and paddling where the best of the best come to train and compete.
Keep your eyes on the calendar. Concerts and festivals are happening all the time.
