In 1937, Pine Lake established itself as a weekend fishing getaway for Atlanta’s elite. Today, Pine Lake is one of the most eclectic cities in the state, including among its residents a number of locally, regionally and nationally known artists in the fields of music, fine art, sculpture, poetry, prose and other disciplines.

For Pine Lake residents, sharing food is a common city theme. Neighborhood organizations hold monthly pancake breakfasts, and every year the community gathers for the annual chili/soup cook-off, July 4th BBQ.
