The Southern Railroad sent many excursion trains to Lake Lanier full of people from the local towns who would spend the day picnicking, swimming, fishing and dancing.  Since 1938 the Ralston Family has owned the property and had multiple businesses there that have supported 3 generations of their family members.  From Smoking meats in the 1940's to farming until the 1970’s, to Lake Lanier Travel Park which was a founded by Elton and Claire Ralston.  The Lake Lanier Travel Park Opened in the late 1970’s which included powered camping spots as well as basketball, ping-pong, fishing, boating and a bathhouse, which is still there today and has been made into a beautiful apartment. The campgrounds closed in 1990.  Since 1992 Russell Ralston pioneered the Nicotine free smokeless tobacco business called BaccOff.
