Boating:
Lake Nottely Reservoir
lies in the state of Georgia on the southeastern edge of the Tennessee River
watershed, nestled in the mountains and valleys of the Chattahoochee National
Forest. The reservoir features a beach and camping area and is a great place
for viewing wildlife, fishing and boating. Nottely Reservoir serves a number of
purposes other than recreation, including flood control and power generation.
Lake Chatuge Reservoir, located on the Hiwassee River in western North
Carolina, is 13 miles long and extends southeast from the dam into north
Georgia. The reservoir is named after a nearby Cherokee settlement.
Sport fishing is popular at Chatuge,
both in the reservoir and in the Hiwassee River below the dam. Concrete weirs
have been installed below the dam to provide a steady flow of water and to
increase oxygen levels for fish and other aquatic animals. Wade fishing for
trout is popular here since fish are attracted to the weirs, where food is
abundant. Chatuge is operated for many purposes, including flood control, power
generation, and augmentation of water flows for navigation downstream.
Lake
Blue Ridge
Reservoir is on the Toccoa River in north Georgia, stretching 11 miles
southeast from the dam. The river flows northwest into Tennessee, where it’s
called the Ocoee River. Blue Ridge Reservoir is located in the Chattahoochee
National Forest of north Georgia. There’s a scenic overlook above the dam and a
shaded picnic area near the powerhouse. The canoe and kayak launch site below
the dam gives non motorized boaters access to the Toccoa River. The river is
noted among fishermen for its sunfish, trout, and bass. When water is released
from the Blue Ridge Dam to generate electricity, the river becomes a class I-II
float through the Georgia hills. Besides providing power and recreational
opportunities, Blue Ridge also helps control flooding.
Dining:
Eating traditional southern Appalachian foods is part of the fun when
you visit the Blue Ridge area. The favorite, of course, is local mountain trout
-- fried, broiled, pecan-crusted, smoked -- pick your variety. There is apple
everything - apple bread, apple butter, fried apple pies, apple cider, you need
to taste them all! Of course, there's Georgia ice cream -- i.e. grits -- for
breakfast, along with hot cat-head biscuits with honey or sorghum syrup.
Barbeque ribs, country ham, fried chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy,
watermelon. There are many fine restaurants in the local area.
