Advisory: swimming and wading at the beach at the Morganton Point Recreation Area on Lake Blue Ridge, Fannin County, GA are not recommended. Results of a routine water test identified conditions, likely due to recent heavy rains, that exceed water quality standards established by the Georgia Environmental Protection Division (EPD). Morganton Point Recreation Area will continue to be open for camping, picnicking, launching boats, and other recreational activities, and visitors may continue to use the beach during the advisory period. The Forest Service will continue to conduct water tests in coordination with the EPD and TVA and will remove the advisory as soon as possible.
