Members' Appreciation Lunch 2026
JD's on the Lake
Saturday, July 25, 2026 11:30 a.m.

Older club members may recall in the dark ages the first member appreciation event at the Toccoa River Restaurant out in the middle of nowhere. J.D.’s on the Lake (6979 Bells Ferry Road, Canton, GA 30114), like Toccoa River, is rustic reminding one of the old Georgia fish camps. The restrooms are even in a building outside the main restaurant. Netflix fans of the Ozark series should recognize the structure featured in the series as the  "Blue Cat Lodge". JD (no last name) acquired the property that is across the street from Little River Marina on Lake Allatoona in 2018. The restaurant, a favorite of both boaters and travelers with standing room crowds since it reopened the week of 13 April 2026 for the summer season.    

J.D. over the winter months built out an overhead covered deck under the main restaurant appropriately named “the bottom of the lake” that has a full bar. Peachtree members will have exclusive use of the new lower deck for our 2026 Membership Appreciation event.     

As a guest of Peachtree Section for lunch the menu:

• Spring Salad with Parmesan vinaigrette dressing
• Entre choice of J.D.s specialty Fried Catfish, Blackened Grouper, or Fried Chicken Finger for those adverse to fish.
