Lake Blue Ridge GA

Lake Blue Ridge is located in Fannin county in North Georgia. The elevation of Lake Blue Ridge is 1,690 ft. above sea level. Lake Blue Ridge covers 3,290 acres. Lake Blue Ridge is fed by the Toccoa River that starts in the heart of the North Georgia mountains. The river flows north to Lake Blue Ridge. Once the water passes through the dam it continues on a northward trek until it reaches the Tennessee state line. At that point the river changes its name to the Ocoee River. This was the site of the white water rafting events for the 1996 Olympics. There are a few boat ramps located around the lake. They are at Morganton Point and Lake Blue Ridge recreation areas.

      Originally the lake was given the name Lake Toccoa by the Toccoa Power and Electric Company. The lake was built by the power company between 1929 and 1932. Later on the lake was sold to the Tennessee Valley Authority and the name was changed to Lake Blue Ridge.

       Lake Blue Ridge is considered one of the most pristine and beautiful lakes to visit in the state of Georgia. This is partly due to the fact that most of the land around the lake is part of the USFS Chattahoochee National Forest. Since most of the land is part of the USFS National Forest this prevents much development from occurring around the lake. Lake Blue Ridge is also surrounded by a number of mountains and hills. One such mountain is Green Mountain with a height of 2,557 ft. The Green Mountain Trail offers hikers many wonderful views of the lake. The Lake Blue Ridge Trail also many Blue Ridge Lake views.

      There are many opportunities for the outdoor enthusiast at Lake Blue Ridge. Hiking, fishing and there are many mountain biking trails around the lake and you explore Lake Blue Ridge in a canoe. It is easy to see why a person could spend an entire day, week, or even longer just at Lake Blue Ridge.

    One of the main attractions of Lake Blue Ridge is the good fishing available. Smallmouth bass and walleyes are the most abundant fish, however, bluegills and the muskie can also be found here. It is possible to fish from the banks of Lake Blue Ridge at a few places, however most fishermen will use their boats and set out to find a small hidden cove to do their fishing.
