Multiple agencies worked together Friday afternoon to recover a man's body from Lake Lanier at Van's Tavern Park in Forsyth County.

Forsyth County Fire Division Chief Jason Shivers said a Forsyth County diver recovered the man's body from about 35 feet of water at about 1 p.m. Crews were first dispatched to the scene shortly after 12 p.m. 

The Forsyth County Sheriff's Office, Georgia Department of Natural Resources, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Hall County Fire Rescue and several other agencies were all involved in the recovery.

Shivers declined to comment further on the incident, deferring to the Georgia DNR. AccessWDUN has attempted to contact the DNR for additional details.
