The Fontana Lake area is deep in the Great Smoky Mountains in North Carolina. Fishing, boating, and swimming are all popular at Fontana, but it is perhaps most appreciated by wilderness hikers and campers. The Appalachian Trail, which extends over 2,000 miles from Georgia to Maine, crosses Fontana Dam area. The Great Smoky Mountains National Park borders the reservoir to the north.  Our area offers any outdoor enthusiast what they are looking to do.  Though we are placing some of the activities to do around here for entertainment purposes only, we do not endorse or recommend one over the other.
