Ben Franklin Park

Mel returns to shore. Picture was taken in 2006 when Lake Lanier was unusually low. This would be underwater at full pond. Picture from our Foto Gallery http://windsurfatlanta.org/gallery/v/album41/

Humorous nickname for Old Federal Park alluding to its popularity with the local kitesurfing community. Please see the page for Old Federal Park for complete information. There is no actual park with this name.
