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.
