Get ready to explore diverse outdoor adventures including the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and two national forests. From mild to wild, these secluded natural settings offer something for everyone.

Imagine kayaking or paddle boarding on nearby Lake Santeetlah. Take an afternoon hike on one of the many nearby forest trails and see the giant poplars in Joyce Kilmer Memorial Forest. Escape to one of our secluded mountain streams and try the art of fly fishing. A number of waterfalls are just a short drive away.

The area is home to some of the most scenic paved and unpaved roadways in the country. Challenge yourself to the thrills driving the Tail of The Dragon with 318 curves in 11 miles. Tour the Cherohala Skyway, which begins just 300 feet from the entrance to the Lodge and climbs to over 5000 feet.

Climb aboard a raft and shoot the rapids of the roaring Cheoah River. Explore four pristine mountain lakes formed by four dams, including Fontana Dam, the highest dam east of the Rocky Mountains.
