re: OT: Lanier Islands Resort

There are some good lake restaurants within a 10 minute drive from the park entrance.

Twisted Oar inside Holiday Marina. On the water. Afternoon, early dinner great place for families with kids. After about 8PM you get the boaters that come up and it can get a little "not" kid friendly, but good food and drinks! If you have the golf cart package you can take the sidewalks from the park to the marina.

Coastal Breeze- You actually pass it going to the islands. Great food, atmosphere, and service. Anytime is good for families, bar gets busy everyday around 5.

Fishtales @ Hideaway Bay Marina. About a 10 minute drive. Outdoor seating, on the water, big kid play area.

Pigtales @ Aqualand Marina. About a 10 minute drive. On the water, outdoor covered seating and uncovered. Food is good. Atmosphere is always fun. Gets busy late afternoon so be willing to grab a drink from the bar and wait down by the docks. Kid friendly.

Get your tee time early. Don't wait till you check in.
