About North Georgia Watersports Marina
FBC on Lake Nottely is located at North Georgia Watersports, which includes a full service marina of covered and uncovered slips. FBC Southern Blue Ridge Mountains began their partnership with North Georgia Watersports in December or 2021. Located in Blairsville, Georgia, many activities surround the area. Outdoor activities consist of golf, hiking, state parks, shopping, horseback riding and of course, boating.
Lake Nottely is a 4,180 acre Reservoir with 106 miles of shoreline. The lake features a beach and camping and is also known for black and striped bass, walleye, rainbow trout and bass.
There are three golf courses within a few minutes of Lake Nottely: Butternut Creek Golf Course, Brasstown Valley Golf Course, and Old Union Golf Course. There is also a Disc Golf Course located at Meeks Park.
Hiking trails are endless as Blairsville and Lake Nottely are right off the Appalachian Trail. Visit the Walasi-Yi Center at Neels Gap for legendary hiking!
Along with hiking, Blairsville and Lake Nottely are also situated closely to horseback riding stables and trails. Trackrock Stables is a local favorite!
