The crystal clear aquamarine waters of Lake Blue Ridge make it one of Georgia's most picturesque mountain lakes. The 3,290-acre lake and surrounding area boast over 90 national forest campsites, several boat ramps, a full-service marina and public swimming and picnic areas. 80 percent of the shoreline on Lake Blue Ridge is in the Chattahoochee National Forest, managed by the USDA Forest Service.Forest service recreation areas include the Lake Blue Ridge Campground, off Aska Road in Blue Ridge, which has 58 campsites, a picnic area, boat ramp and loop trail along the lake shore. Morganton Point Campground, in Morganton, features a public swimming area, along with 43 campsites, picnic tables and pavilion and a boat ramp. Another boat ramp is available at Lakewood Landing near Morganton. The Lake Blue Ridge Marina offers boat ramp access on a fee basis, along with pontoon rentals.
Blue Ridge reservoir is 11 miles long and has 65 miles of shoreline, 25 percent of which is developed. The lake was formed when Blue Ridge Dam was constructed on the Toccoa River in 1930 by the Toccoa Electric Power Company. At the time it was built, the dam was the largest earthen dam in the Southeast. The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) purchased the facility in 1939 for hydroelectric power production.

THE BLUE RIDGE MOUNTAINS ARTS ASSOCIATIONFor 30 years, the Blue Ridge Mountain Arts Association (BRMAA) has, through performance, demonstration and education, strived to enhance and preserve the quality and accessibility of the arts in the North Georgia area. The mountains that surround the beautiful area of North Georgia, South East Tennessee and Western North Carolina inspire creativity and BRMAA provides a venue for all the talent enclosed in this mountainous cocoon. The primary goal of BRMAA has been to enhance and preserve the quality and accessibility of the arts in this region, to honor our rich heritage of mountain culture, while promoting contemporary multi-cultural arts. While art enriches the lives of our residents, the arts act as a catalyst for economic development in the community. As an organization, the Blue Ridge Mountain Arts Association, endeavors to provide opportunities in the realm of art for personal growth of the individual and the economic growth of our community. BRMAA is located in the historic courthouse in Blue Ridge, GA, a small town at the gateway to the Blue Ridge Mountains. BRMAA complements a vigorous downtown business area that focuses on the arts. Being only 90 minutes from downtown Atlanta has created a catalyst for vigourous growth in this area. Maintaining the eclectic artsy community is a challenge and is managed well by our Business Association, many of which are ardent supporters of BRMAA. |
