North Carolina's Smoky Mountains can keep an active family busy for weeks enjoying the rich mix of activities these unique mountains have to offer. Many Smoky Mountain communities offer special events that showcase mountain crafts and culture in a way that is truly authentic.
With all the publicly
owned lands in the Great Smoky
Mountains; Nantahala National Forest,
Pisgah National Forest and Great Smoky
Mountains National Park, outdoor
activities are a natural fit. Mountain
bikers can test their riding skills on
single-track trails of the Tsali
Recreation Area, where the trail rips
and twists along the shoreline of
Fontana Lake. Paddlers can challenge any
number of whitewater rivers in the Smoky
Mountains, like the world famous
Nantahala River.
Adventuresome families and individuals can try their luck searching for rubies in local gem mines or taking a visit to the Cherokee Casino for evening entertainment. North Carolina's Great Smoky Mountains have activities to meet everyone's interest from mild to wild.
