Lake Blue Ridge Loop Trail

Hiking

Discover this 0.8-mile loop trail near Blue Ridge, Georgia, an easy route that takes about 18 minutes to complete. Popular for birding, camping, and hiking, you're likely to encounter other visitors while exploring. The trail is best enjoyed from February through November. Dogs are welcome but must be kept on a leash.

This wooded path offers lovely views of the lake but can be narrow in some areas. Sturdy footwear is recommended due to uneven terrain with rocks and roots.

A helpful tip from hikers: When in the parking lot, avoid following the bike sign, as it points in the wrong direction. Instead, face the lake and head to the far left to find the trail’s starting point on a small boardwalk.
