Cumming Georgia is 30 miles north of Atlanta in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains next to Lake Lanier and the Chattahoochee River. Cumming offers you peace and quite but still has the closeness of Atlanta for those who need to commute.

Forsyth County has been one of the fastest growing areas in the nation in terms of percentage of growth for several years.  Cumming has something for everyone from affordable housing for the first-time buyers to executive style living on the lake or country club home.  Numerous homes are built around  world class golf courses like Laurel Springs, Polo Golf & Country Club, and of course around the 37,000 acre Lake Lanier.

Cumming is home to the largest lake in Georgia, Lake Lanier. Lake Lanier is a 37,000 acre lake that offers fishing, boating, tubing, wake boarding, and water skiing. Lake Lanier Islands Water Park, located right on the lake, is a popular place for families. There are campgrounds and beaches for those who would like to stay out of the water. The Forsyth County and Hall County maintain over 15 parks and boat ramps on the shores of beautiful Lake Lanier.

The downtown area of Cumming is a wonderful area to visit. There are several business and resturants in the area along with the Cumming Fairgrounds. The Cumming Fairgrounds is the host of the Annual Cumming Fair, IRPA Championship Rodeo, 4th of July celebration, along with farmers markets, concerts and other festivals throughout the year.
