A weekend getaway at this lakefront resort near Atlanta could take you on a different path each day. Playing one or all five championship golf courses, kayaking, antiques-shopping or an afternoon at the spa require advanced planning when it comes to what to pack for your visit.
If you are an antique lover, try not to miss nearby gems such as the Greensboro Antique Mall and Madison Markets. Many dealers will arrange white-glove shipments within the continental U. You will, however, want to know your optimum dimensions in advance if you plan on hunting down anything of size, so be sure to take measurements of key rooms or existing pieces in advance to bring along on your treasure hunt.
Dress for ease and comfort: lightweight layers, and comfortable walking shoes. Expect a few hot days in summer; in winter, evening temperatures can dip below freezing. Bring running shoes and your usual workout gear for exercising in the hotel or outdoors.
For outdoor adventures, items such as casual dri-fit active wear like shorts, leggings, T-shirts and sneakers are best. Pack a roomy tote bag, backpack or purse to carry the essentials, from your phone and wallet to a bottle of water and a camera, during the day.
The Lake Oconee area abounds with opportunities to enjoy nature, from hiking and biking to adventure tubing, boating, personal watercraft and fishing. Planning a water adventure? Or you can take things a little slower and cruise around the lake on a stand-up paddleboard or kayak. If you plan on tubing or riding a Jet Ski, consider hats and sunglasses specially designed to withstand the speed.
