Hold your breath as you witness God's gift through His amazing work in the crystal clear aquamarine waters of Lake Blue Ridge. This lake has become popular as it has been lined among the most picturesque mountain lakes in Georgia.

The 3,290-acre lake is comprised of over 90 national forest campsites, different kinds of boat ramps, a full-service marina and several public swimming and picnic areas. If you are an adventurous or frustrated forest ranger, you will surely enjoy the 80 percent of the shoreline on Lake Blue Ridge that is in the Chattahoochee National Forest.

For an escape to a more relaxing weekend, the Morganton Point Campground, in Morganton, will offer you with a great public swimming area, along with 43 campsites, picnic tables and pavilion and a boat ramp.

For the boat and fishing lovers, the lake is one perfect home to bream, catfish, bass, perch and crappie, which make the area popular with anglers. In the lake south of the Great Lakes, the rare Walleye are caught. This has also been popular as white bass fishing.

Blue Ridge reservoir is 11 miles long and has 65 miles of shoreline, 25 percent of which is developed. The lake was created in 1930, when Blue Ridge Dam was constructed on the Toccoa River by the Toccoa Electric Power Company. Back then, it was recorded as the largest earthen dam in the Southeast. Before the decade ended, Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) purchased the facility for hydroelectric power production.
