Fireworks at the Dike
2025-07-03 21:00 - 22:00 | Lower Basin by the Dike on Lake Rabun, Lakemont ga
Thursday, July 3th, 2025; starts at dusk (9:15 pm +/-) at the dike; weather permitting
Join us by boat in the Lower Basin at dusk (approximately 9:30 pm) for our pyrotechnic rendition of “bombs bursting in air”. If viewing by boat, remember the entire Lower Basin is a no-wake zone to provide a safe environment for the flotilla of boats on hand. When arriving, no wake upon passing Witham Point.
When departing the Lower Basin at the end of the fireworks show, boats with flashing yellow lights will lead all boats out of the Lower Basin. Do not pass the lead boats. The DNR and Rabun County law enforcement will be on hand to enforce the no-wake policy. Our fireboat will bring up the rear and be on hand for everyone’s safety. We thank Michael Crowe for coordinating our safety protocols!

Lake Rabun Best Practices Boater Safety Class
2025-06-21 09:00 - 11:00 | The Pavilion at Lake Rabun, 1757 Lake Rabun Rd, Lakemont, GA, 30552, United States
While our USCG/ DNR class covers a broad array of boating safety subjects, this class is explicitly oriented towards the boat operating skills that apply to Lake Rabun’s unique geography. We encourage ALL boat operators on Lake Rabun to attend to learn about best practices for navigating, cruising, and all manner of towed water sports.
We will specifically discuss best practices for wake surfing, including showing an educational video produced by Lake Rabun wake surfers. Advice in that video helps assure the best possible on-the-water experience for all. No matter your level of boating experience, you will learn something new about your lake!

Please RSVP below for headcount.

Mandatory Boater Education

This class is required by Georgia law for all boat operators born on or after January 1, 1998. Must register in advance! Lunch and a T-shirt provided to participants! Come meet your Lake Rabun DNR Wardens!

Do you have any boat operators in your household born on or after January 1, 1998? Georgia law requires that every boat operator meeting minimum age requirements born after that date complete a boating safety class. This class satisfies that requirement – if you pass the test!
The class is taught by U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary personnel, and our Georgia DNR Warden Jackson Erwin will be in attendance as well.
Each attendee must pre-register on the Georgia DNR website for a Georgia Outdoors account number.

Each participant will be prompted to enter their Georgia DNR account number (an existing hunting or fishing license) OR sign up for an account. If you DO NOT have a Georgia DNR account, you will be required to enter your date of birth, last name, and the last four numbers of your Social Security number. Account registration must be completed prior to the class. Parents may need to assist their children in registering.
