Lanier County, Georgia
Lanier County is under 200 square miles in area. Although this tiny county in south Georgia might be easy to miss on a map, it has lots of character to spare.
Lakeland is the only city and county seat. It’s as quaint as they come. Banks Lake National Wildlife Refuge is great for nature lovers. You’ll find some of the best fishing in the state here.
Locals are proud of their community, which you’ll see at high school football games. Sweet tea is always on the menu with the best Southern hospitality. The county is named after poet Sidney Lanier, and there’s still a poetic feel to the place.
