The "best value" depends on your point of view.

I use to be on Lanier for years. 45-mins to Habersham (after calling to get the boat put-in). Then switched to Allatoona. 15-20 mins trailering to Blockhouse ramp. Then, we discovered LM and found a great place.

Yes, for proximity, Lanier & Allatoona are a great value for Atlantians. But, for peacefulness (relatively speaking), quality, cleanliness, and similar amenties, LM is tough to beat (okay, its better). The biggest reason we have our boat permanently at Harbor Pointe (couple years now) is cost and quality. After figuring it up, gas would have to drop to $1.01/gal to break-even (trailering each weekend). The cheaper route was to keep the boat in a wet-slip. Has saved money, some time, less wear-n-tear on the truck, have met really nice people (some F/T'rs), and provided great R&R paybacks. I could list a bunch more pros for LM than cons in comparison to Lanier & Allatoona but its my same ol' schtick. Sure, 2.5-hrs & 164-miles from Marietta is a bit much but LM has become our second-home on the weekends & we think its worth it.

On top of that, not as much of a shake-n-bake compared to Cocktail Cove or Illinois Creek, not as many nut-cases, and just a really nice time.

So, best value, in my opinion, has been LM.
