Float Your Boat

FONTANA LAKE AND DAM

Fontana Lake has been called the best-kept secret in the North Carolina Mountains. The 29-mile long, 11,700-acre lake has more than 240 miles of shoreline, and more than 90% of the land around the lake is bordered by the Great Smoky Mountains National Park or the US Forest Service. This abundance of public land and unspoiled wilderness ensures pristine lake and mountain views for generations to come.

There are plenty of access points to explore Fontana Lake. Several public boat ramps are available for launching your own boat, paddleboard, or kayak, or you can reach out to a local outfitter and rent the equipment. For a full-service experience, visitors can utilize one of our knowledgeable guides who will arrange the entire

trip for you including sunset cruises, fishing trips, camping trips and access to historic areas of the park like Hazel Creek and Eagle Creek, as well as the option to rent a pontoon boat from one of our local marinas. The Fingerlake Day Use Area is open during the summer months and includes a small park with picnic tables, public restrooms and a primitive swimming area. At 480 feet, the Fontana Dam impounds Fontana Lake and produces hydroelectric power. This engineering marvel has historical significance to the residents of Swain County. In response to an urgent need for electric power during World War II; many residents gave up their private land to the Federal Government for the creation of Fontana Lake and the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The Appalachian Trail crosses Fontana Dam, where visitors can walk or drive across the dam or stop by the visitor center from May through October.

All Good Things are Wild & Free

THE NANTAHALA GORGE

The Gorge is the epicenter of outdoor adventure. Here, people of all ages can enjoy whitewater rafting and kayaking, zip lining, fishing, biking, jeep tours, horseback riding, hiking and gem mining. The 200,000 paddlers who come every year make the Nantahala River one of the most popular whitewater rafting rivers in the Southeast. With mostly Class I and II rapids, it is a great place for family fun; rafters as young as 6 years of age (or 60 pounds) can raft on the Nantahala River. A drive on U.S. 19 through the Gorge is worthwhile for scenic views, restaurants, picnic areas, and pull-offs to watch the rafters on the rushing waters.

The Nantahala River is also a popular fishing spot, especially when it comes to fly fishing. Trout Unlimited named the river one of 100 best trout streams in America. The Upper Nantahala is stocked and designated as a delayed harvest trout stream. Although the Lower Nantahala is supported by a delayed harvest stream, it’s not designated as delayed harvest, meaning folks do not need to follow delayed harvest fishing rules when fishing the Lower Nantahala and can use whatever lures or baits one likes.

Hiking in the Nantahala Gorge and surrounding Nantahala National Forest offers terrific trails and varied challenge levels. The best part? All trails welcome dogs, unlike in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park where pets are not allowed, so bring along your furry companion! Favorite insider hiking trails include:

• Appalachian Trail

• Bartram Trail

• Findley Falls

• Flint Ridge Trail

• Nantahala Bikeway

• Wesser Creek Trail

• Wesser Bald Fire Tower

Because Pets Love Adventure

You don’t have to leave your pet at home while you explore! If your four-legged pal enjoys adventure as much as you do, then you’ll love:

• Pet-Friendly Restaurants, Shops, and Breweries

• Paddleboarding and Kayaking

• Pet-Friendly Hiking Trails

• Pet-Friendly Boating and Rafting

And you can find several pet-friendly accommodations including cabin rentals, hotels, motels and resorts, bed and breakfast inns, and campgrounds. Visit brys.onl/petfriendlyactivities for all your pet-friendly resources in Bryson City, or scan the QR code.

Float Along and Breathe Deep

Experience the thrill of riding a tube down the crystal-clear waters in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Deep Creek, just outside of Bryson City and the Oconaluftee River in Cherokee are two of the purest rivers in the Smoky Mountains where you can enjoy a tube ride that’s part rushing rapids, and part lazy ripples and swimming holes.

DEEP CREEK

Tubing companies generally operate from Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day; however, Deep Creek tubing can begin earlier in May and continue after Labor Day if the weather is warm. Rental companies are located on West Deep Creek Road, just outside of Bryson City, near the park entrance. Light-weight inflatables with seats can be rented for the day. From the parking lot at the Deep Creek trailhead, carry your tube upstream on the Deep Creek trail and look for put-ins.

OCONALUFTEE

You can access the trail at Wesser in the Nantahala Gorge, Fontana Dam, Newfound Gap, and at Clingmans Dome, the highest point in the Park.

Keeping Your Line Wet

The Bryson City area is sought out by fishing enthusiasts from around the world due to an abundance of pristine fishing streams and rivers, along with the deep, cold waters of Fontana Lake.

Little Tennessee Rivers. The Tuckasegee and the Little Tennessee also offer bass, crappie, walleye and the fierce muskie.

The crown jewel of Swain County fishing is Fontana Lake. Record-size muskie and walleye have been pulled from its 400-foot depths. It is one of the best smallmouth bass fishing lakes in the country.
