Nix Bridge Park is on the Chestatee River, one of the tributaries of Lake Lanier, down the road a piece from all the outlet malls near the intersection of GA Route 400 and Highway 53.
Nix Bridge Park is tucked away in an almost-secret location that’s hidden in plain sight. Here’s a big clue. Ready?
You can find this park at the end of Nix Bridge Road, off Route 9 (Harmony Church Road). Please don’t tell anyone that we spilled the beans.
Have you heard the tales about the giant striped bass that flee from Lake Lanier to escape being caught? Yup. They end up near Nix Bridge Park.
Where you can put your boat into the water and catch fish until your arms ache. Guaranteed! (Some restrictions apply.)
Please Note: If you fill your boat to the gunnels with stripers, you can buy a bigger boat nearby!
This is one of 46 parks operated by the US Army Corps of Engineers providing “picnicking, campgrounds, boat launch ramps, swimming areas, group picnic shelters and hiking trails.”
