This article refers to Old Federal Day Use Park, not the campground.

General Information

55 min. Not widely used by windsurfers as it sits well back in the bay. More popular with kiteboarders, especially when the lake is down, as it's one of the few places that has room away from trees. Just north of the [Lake Lanier Sailing Club|LLSC].

Historical Note: Name derives from the Federal Road, the main thoroughfare, that crossed the Chattahootchee and traversed the Cherokee Nation on the way to Tennessee. At that time, the river was the western border of the US in Georgia. Discovery of gold in Dahlonega brought the eventual annexation of the Cherokee Nation by Andrew Jackson and the subsequent and tragic Trail of Tears.
