Living in Suwanee has its benefits, namely the prime location for outdoor recreation. Champions Run in Forsyth County is centrally located to many areas that are perfect for day trips or quick weekend getaways.
If you have just a day to spend, visit beautiful Lake Lanier. Located minutes away from Champions Run, this is the ideal place to bask in the sun on a boat or fish. If you don’t own a boat, no problem. Many rental companies are located in the area that would be glad to help outfit you for a day. If the kids have energy to burn, be sure to visit Lake Lanier Islands Beach and Water Park for high-energy activity.
For more quick-getaway fun, Champions Run is also just over an hour from Helen, Ga., where visitors bask in Alpine architecture and the beauty of the mountains. Those wanting a city getaway can hop on the interstate for the short drive to Atlanta, where cultural venues abound.
But to put the “stay” in staycation, residents can spend the day at the sparkling pool at Champions Run. The pool area has plenty of lounge chairs to pass the day by, and even a mushroom play fountain for the little ones.
