Blue Ridge Dam, Morganton, NC
Blue Ridge Dam is an impressive structure located in Blue Ridge, Georgia. It is a hydroelectric dam which serves as both a source of reliable energy and an important waterway for commercial and recreational activities. Spanning over 6,400 feet across the Toccoa River, Blue Ridge Dam stands tall amongst its mountainous backdrop.
The dam was constructed in 1930 and has since provided power to many of the surrounding towns. In addition to providing electricity to the area, Blue Ridge Dam also supplies water to several Lake Blue sites including Lake Blue State Park. The lake created by the dam is open for fishing and swimming during warmer months as well as year-round boating and other recreational activities.
In addition to being a popular tourist destination, the dam also serves an ecological purpose. It helps regulate water flow in the river and prevents flooding by storing excess water from heavy rains or snow melts in winter months. This has helped reduce erosion downstream on nearby rivers, helping protect aquatic habitats as well as other areas of nature that have been disturbed by development around them.
Blue Ridge Dam also provides opportunities for educational study and exploration into engineering projects such as irrigation systems, flood control systems, and energy production methods within its walls. Professionals may visit the dam to observe closely how it works and learn more about renewable energy resources such as hydroelectricity. Visitors can also take a tour of the facility which offers interactive exhibits about the dam's construction process and history, making it a great place to learn about this fascinating resource first hand!
