Hundreds of volunteers in Dawson, Forsyth, Gwinnett and Hall counties made it their mission Saturday to collect tons of trash and dock floats from around Lake Lanier. The extensive efforts were part of the Lake Lanier Association’s 35th annual Shore Sweep on Sept. 23, staged at 13 locations including Dawson County's War Hill and Toto Creek parks.
