The corps parks around Lake Lanier should remain open all year. If the parks are handed over to the county to manage, please retain the senior pass.

We have been camping at Bolding Mill for years and love it there. However, I guess due to ACOE funding cutbacks the facilities are not in as good a shape as they used to be. They only cut the grass right around the roads. Many of the grassy meadows that the kids used to play in have weeds taller than I am. Speaking of kids, the recreation equipment (swings etc) is no longer maintained. Write your congressman and ask them to support more funding for these wonderful parks!!!
