The landscape around Lakewood is marked by wooded mountain slopes and the shores of Lake Blue Ridge, which have shaped both the dispersed settlement pattern and a recreation-focused local economy. Lakewood lies in Fannin County in North Georgia, where the lake is a reservoir on the Toccoa River within the Chattahoochee National Forest. Blue Ridge Dam, completed in 1930, created the reservoir and remains a defining piece of regional infrastructure. In nearby Blue Ridge, the Blue Ridge Scenic Railway departs from the historic depot for excursions along the Toccoa River toward the Georgia–Tennessee line.
