Course



Flat Creek rises in Gainesville, Georgia in Hall County, just north of Lee Gilmer Memorial Airport, and immediately west of State Route 60. The creek heads in a westerly direction, and crosses State Route 13/State Route 53 within a few hundred yards, then curves to the southwest, paralleling State Route 369 to its north. Just east of McEver Road, Flat Creek turns to the south, then back to the west to cross McEver Road, and flows into Lake Lanier in the Flat Creek arm of the lake, which is separated from the Chattahoochee River arm by a peninsula which is bisected by State Route 369, and which is accessed by Browns Bridge coming from Forsyth County.
