Access Points

Whether you want to experience the lake by boat or land, there are many access points to the beautiful Lake Blue Ridge.

Lake Blue Ridge Marina

One of the main access points to the lake is the Lake Blue Ridge Marina off of Old Highway 76. Here families and friends can rent pontoon boats, kayaks, and paddle boards.
