Jackson Lake is a wonderful, moderately sized lake located only one hour from the heart of Atlanta.
It features a tight knit community, anchored by the Jackson Lake Homeowner’s Association (JLHA).
This group meets four times a year, and their main goals include promoting fellowship, education, communication and improving the quality of life at Jackson Lake.
The JLHA also plays host to many of the lake’s most exciting events throughout year, including the following events in 2016:
Lake Cleanups
February 20th | May 14th | August 6th | November 19th
A clean lake is without a doubt the most enjoyable lake. Volunteer your time to make Jackson Lake looks its best year round.
In addition to cleaning up the lake and meeting all your neighbors, you will also be treated to a free lunch!
Cleanups start at Lloyd Shoals Dam on the dates listed above, all starting at 8:30 a.m.
Don’t forget to bring a pair of boots and some work gloves!
Paddle the Rivers
April 30th – South River | July 9th – Alcovy | September 10th – Tussahaw
Just as the title suggests – bring anything that you can paddle! That includes kayaks, canoes, and paddle boards.
Make your pickup reservations by emailing JLHAReservations@gmail.com.
Poker Run
June 18th
Poker runs are fairly common across the south, particularly during the summer months when everyone is out boating in full force.
It involves traveling by boat to each of the 5 sponsor’s docks, picking up a playing card, then finishing up at Reasor’s Landing.
At this point you have a “poker hand” and the boat with the best hand wins!
The cost to participate will be $25 per hand, and proceeds will be used to promote boating safety and the use of a designated skipper around Jackson Lake.
