HALL COUNTY -- Twenty years ago the Olympic Games came to Atlanta, with rowing and paddling events held in Gainesville on Lake Lanier. While the Olympic flame has been passed on, the Olympic spirit has not been lost in Gainesville. The venue where the rowing and paddling events were held, now called Lake Lanier Olympic Park, recently completed $1.1 million in renovations.
