Lake Rabun Best Practices - Boater Education/Safety
2026-07-11 09:00 - 11:00 | The Pavilion at Lake Rabun, 1757 Lake Rabun Rd, Lakemont, GA, 30552, United States
Lake Rabun Best Practices – Boater Education
Our LRA-sponsored USCG/DNR class covers a broad array of boating safety subjects, but this class is a practicum in common sense boat operating tips for our little mountain lake. It is explicitly oriented towards boat operating skills that assure safe boating and towed water sports activities on Lake Rabun’s unique geography. We encourage ALL boat operators on Lake Rabun to attend to learn best practices for navigating, cruising, and all varieties of towed water sports.
We specifically discuss best practices for wake surfing, including the screening of an educational video produced by experienced Lake Rabun wake surfers. Advice from 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 to Pat Hickey at pthickeyjr@gmail.com or (404) 754-7829, or contact him with any questions.

Fall Lake Cleanup
2026-09-11 09:00 - 14:00 | Rabun Beach Boat Ramp, 5315 Lake Rabun Road, Lakemont, 30552, United States
Join us for the Fall Lake Cleanup! Get your hands dirty and your clothes wet, and help keep Lake Rabun beautiful!
If you have a boat, please bring it to help pick up trash. We need as many boats as possible. Whalers, pontoon boats, and runabouts work great for shoreline pick up, and we even have wave runners out there pulling in debris. If you don’t have a watercraft, there is still plenty to do. Just remember to bring gloves, sunscreen, and a hat. We’ll provide the trash bags and trash grabbers.
Volunteers should meet at the Rabun Beach Boat Ramp.
If you plan to attend, please RSVP to Melissa and Bob Clinkscales at (404) 218-2879 or at rmclink@aol.com by Sept. 9. We’ll have a complimentary lunch after we finish, so we need an accurate head count.
Everyone is welcome! Many people participate in the spring and fall cleanups year after year — which is one of the best testimonies to how much fun it is to spend the day with lake friends helping maintain our beautiful lake.
