Lake Lanier Area Destination Guide

Braselton
Braselton is a citizen of four different counties—Barrow, Gwinnett, Hall,
and Jackson—making it a distinctive town with plenty of events and
attractions. Its crown jewel is Chateau Elan Winery and Resort, known
for luxurious stays with world-class spa services, golf, and fine dining. The
town square, Braselton Park, is the heart of local festivals and gatherings.
A quick ride on the free downtown trolley takes you to specialty shops like
Countryside Antiques, showcasing vintage chic home décor. For a top-
notch meal, visit Cotton Calf Kitchen for dry-aged steaks and heirloom
veggies, and finish your evening at Rebar for creative cocktails.

Buford
Once a railroad depot in 1872, Buford has evolved into a thriving
metropolitan suburb. Visitors can explore Lanier Islands Resort,
shop at the Mall of Georgia, or dive into the town’s lively downtown
scene. Once famous for its leatherwork, including saddles for
Hollywood’s Roy Rogers, Buford now tempts travelers with its vibrant
arts scene, offering high-quality dining, live music, and touring
theater shows. The historic charm of this city lives on through both its
attractions and its welcoming community.
