Choose one of our night time, late in the day Sunset Cruises to be on the water right above locations that make this lake famous for the darker side of Lake Lanier's history. Captain Dave tells a few stories of folks that left this world via the waters of Lake Lanier. Some those perished souls did not exit the waters, they are still there.
Locals estimate over 1,000 unfortunate lake goers have perished in the waters of Lake Lanier. Many accounts of unsolved mysteries of spirits haunting Lake Lanier have been shared and passed around from sailor to fishermen to victim's loved ones. Once visitors find out how many people have died, disappeared and never been recovered, well, it's a sobering uneasy thought especially when you are out on a boat at dusk, floating over skeletons submerged deep and lodged in the tangled Georgia Pines 60-180 feet below. Boo!
On the fun side of this tour, Captain Dave hands out neon glow toys for all guests to enjoy and be somewhat illuminated along with the boats custom LED lighting:) And for the really brave, we can drop anchor and you have the option to take a dip in the dark waters and temp the spirits if you dare.
If you book any of our night Sunset Cruise & Float Tours, you get the Haunted Treatment and Stories if you desire.
Happy boating, swimming and stay alive on Lake Lanier!
Phil and Jessica head to Lake Lanier, a manmade lake that covers over 20 cemeteries and the bodies still buried there. They investigate in and around the deadliest lake in America to uncover rumors of drownings and ghostly encounters.
If you want a personal tour of Lake Lanier and some of these known paranormal areas, send us a text of email and let's put a "Lake Lanier Haunted Tour" excursion together.

As seen on the History Channel - The UnXplained (Season 3)
In 1958, two friends, Delia May Parker Young and Susie Roberts, departed Gainesville headed to Three Gables Roadhouse dance house in Dawsonville. After getting gas and skipping out on paying for it, they raced away on HWY 53 headed west in a 1953 Ford Sedan until they fatefully skidded off the Jerry D. Jackson bridge while crossing Lake Lanier and disappeared.
The following year, a fisherman came across a decomposed, handless, unidentifiable body with pieces of blue fabric attached floating near the bridge.
Locals knew it was Delia, they said, because dozens of drivers on State Route 53 had seen her after she vanished, appearing as a ghostly, handless apparition sauntering down the highway in a blue dress. The ghost appeared to be lost, they said, almost as if she was searching, but for what no one could say.
By November of 1990, Susie Roberts was all but forgotten, and the mysterious body found by a fisherman in 1959 lay resting in an unmarked tomb. For all practical purposes, there was little evidence left from the final ride of that Ford sedan, no fabric remaining but the bridge, the highway and a myth.
Years of wear and tear had finally caught up with the Jerry D. Jackson bridge. As work began on renovations that would expand and refit the bridge, construction workers dredging the bottom of the lake made a startling discovery. Filled with mud, half-buried on the lake’s bottom, they found the twisted wreckage of a 1954 Ford and inside, the bones of Susie Roberts.
Dental records soon verified Roberts’ identity, and the discovery made national headlines. Finally, after 34 years, residents of northeast Georgia had a definitive answer to their mystery. Susie Roberts and Delia Parker Young had run off the road high atop the Jerry D. Jackson bridge.
The unmarked tomb was re-labeled with Delia’s name. And the Lady of Lake Lanier?
Some say you can still find Delia wandering the backroads of State Route 53, slowly making her way from Dawsonville to the top of the old bridge looking for Susie.
