Flying Drone in and around Atlanta

[DeputyDawg]

Just curious why not Lanier or Allatoona

I know Lanier has a dam, but thats a big lake. Can't you fly far from the dam?

Or are those lakes "tagged" as corp of engineer parks and thus not allowed period?

They aren't state parks, so I assumed they would be good

No, flying in any US Army Corps of Engineer park is not allowed without specific approval of regional corps manager

Thanks for the info. Never flew there. Would like to though.

I haven't searched but I'm pretty sure it was here on PP (maybe Mavic Pilots) where a member received (2) citations in the mail after flying over a CoE dam.

Any of you from Atlanta ? Please suggest some good trouble free spots for flying my P4 in and around Atlanta.
My P4 is registered with FAA. Thanks

I think Lake Lanier would be a great area for flying.

it is only around the dams that are prohibited, flying on the lakes is fine

Thank you for the recommendation. I went there this morning cuz I am flying out today. The park is really nice and you can take some nice shots.

It maybe a stupid question. I know we can use the B4UFly app to id restricted areas but is there a consolidated map which shows some known Atl or surrounding areas to fly?
I have gone to Piedmont Park on Sat am once.
