The purpose of the LBRCA is to enhance the economic vitality of the City of Blue Ridge and Fannin County by preserving and protecting Lake Blue Ridge and its surroundings, to enhance the water quality, fishery, boating safety, and aesthetic values of Lake Blue Ridge as a public recreational facility for today and for future generations, while respecting the interests of the public. You do not have to be a resident or lake property owner to join. Membership is open to all!
What are we all about?
- Fireworks: Since 2018, LBRCA has produced “Fire in the Sky”.
This 30-minute fireworks show on the lake is generously
funded by the LBRCA, Corporate Sponsors, local businesses,
and individuals. Our show has been ranked
“3 of the Best Places to See Fireworks” in the South by
AAA Living magazine. Popular Mechanics magazine named us
“20 Best Places to Watch Fourth of July Fireworks”.
Explore Georgia ranked our show “Best 4th of July Celebrations”.
If you and your family enjoy the annual
Fireworks, please consider joining LBRCA to support this
annual event. (Or simply donate to our Fireworks Fund!) - Scholarships: LBRCA coordinates and awards annual
scholarships to deserving Fannin County students who will
attend college or technical and vocational schools. Help us
to help educate our community youth in valuable
trades that help them to help us! - Stewardship:
Lake Cleanups: Member volunteers gather twice a year
to clean up debris from the lake and public areas surrounding
the lake. LBRCA has adopted a mile of Dry Branch Road
near Green Creek to keep it clean of roadside litter.
Boating Safety Classes: We conduct Boating Safety classes
in conjunction with the Dept. of Natural Resources.
Little Pink Houses of Hope: We host activities for Little Pink Houses, an organization that provides retreats to families
with members undergoing cancer treatment. - Social & Community Events:
This year we hosted Trivia and Singo nights, our first Bourbon
Tasting & Social, and a wild and wacky Luau lake side! In
autumn we offer a member-only Blues & BBQ Train, Halloween Bonfire and Christmas Gala. During summer months we regularly meet for lake tie-ups. Coming up in 2025 we’re planning a Murder Mystery Dinner, Bingo and Cornhole Tournament. Join us to meet and keep great friends!
