southern border of Great Smoky Mountains National Park in North Carolina, Fontana Lake is a sight to behold. Created by the largest dam east of the Rocky Mountains, the lake stretches for 17 miles with many inlets to explore. The meandering shoreline encompasses 238 miles and approximately 90% of that is protected by the national park or Nantahala National Forest, making it a uniquely remote-feeling and stunning place to recreate. Whether you paddle out on the lake’s waters, hike along its shore or take a scenic drive alongside it, Fontana Lake is a can’t-miss addition to your Great Smoky Mountains National Park trip.</p> <p>Start at the Fontana Dam & Visitors Center, 32 miles from Bryson City. The looming 480-foot dam turned the Little Tennessee River into the lake you see today in 1944. As tall as a 50-story skyscraper, the dam is a testament to human willpower as its construction took only 36 months due to demand for electricity during World War II. Stop into the visitors center to learn more about the dam and its construction and climb up the observation tower to get an elevated look at the dam, the lake and the rolling mountains. Then, venture out onto the structure itself. The <a href="https://www.mysmokymountainpark.com/things-to-do/outdoor-recreation/appalachian-trail-smoky-mountains/">Appalachian Trail</a> crosses over the top of the dam here, so you may see thru-hikers carrying backpacks depending on the time of year. You can drive across the dam, but it’s best appreciated on foot so you can stop and take in the views across the lake. The visitors center is open from early April to late October, 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. except for September and October when it closes at 6 p.m. It’s free to visit.</p> <figure id="attachment_2260" class="pom-image-wrap photo-alignnone"><img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==" data-lazy-load decoding="async" fetchpriority="high" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2260" data-src="https://cdn.mysmokymountainpark.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/FontanaLake-Dam-overlook_GloriaWadzinski_1500.jpg?width=730" alt="Fontana Dam" width="1500" height="1000" data-srcset="https://cdn.mysmokymountainpark.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/FontanaLake-Dam-overlook_GloriaWadzinski_1500.jpg?width=720 720w, https://cdn.mysmokymountainpark.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/FontanaLake-Dam-overlook_GloriaWadzinski_1500.jpg?width=768 768w" /><figcaption class="pom-caption "><span class="article__caption">Fontana Dam</span> (Photo: Gloria Wadzinski)</figcaption></figure> <h2>Things to Do at Fontana Lake</h2> <h3>Rent a Boat at Fontana Lake</h3> <p>One of the most popular things to do at Fontana Lake is to get out on the water and there’s tons of options along the shore. You can rent everything from house boats to pontoon boats to kayaks and stand-up paddleboards. While there’s no shortage of places to rent from, the biggest spot is Fontana Village Resort & Marina (<a href="https://fontanavillage.com/marina/)">fontanavillage.com/marina/</a>) near the dam. This one-stop-shop truly offers everything you could need from lodging to restaurants to boat rentals. You can reserve pontoon boats in advance for half or full days that can fit up to 15 passengers. Motorized fishing boats are also available for advance rental for those looking to try their luck at catching bass, muskie, bream and perch.</p> <figure id="attachment_2261" class="pom-image-wrap photo-alignnone"><img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==" data-lazy-load decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2261" data-src="https://cdn.mysmokymountainpark.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/LakeFontana-marina-ramp_DP_1500.jpg?width=730" alt="Fontana Lake Marina" width="1500" height="993" data-srcset="https://cdn.mysmokymountainpark.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/LakeFontana-marina-ramp_DP_1500.jpg?width=720 720w, https://cdn.mysmokymountainpark.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/LakeFontana-marina-ramp_DP_1500.jpg?width=768 768w" /><figcaption class="pom-caption "><span class="article__caption">Fontana Lake Marina</span> (Photo: Depositphotos)</figcaption></figure> <p>If you’d rather stick to human-powered fun, the marina offers walk-up rentals for single and double kayaks, canoes, stand-up paddleboards and pedal boats. The center of the lake can get choppy thanks to its size and the presence of motorized boats but if you stick to the shoreline, you’ll find calmer water with stunning views as you explore the various inlets and coves. Keep your eyes out for big birds like herons, eagles and osprey. The marina offers overnight rentals if you want to take your adventure up a notch and camp at one of five <a href="https://www.mysmokymountainpark.com/things-to-do/park-itineraries/great-smoky-adventures/">boat-in only campsites</a> in the national park.</p> <p>If you’re not up for captaining your own watercraft, you can join a tour offered by the marina. All you have to do is sit back, relax and enjoy the view on the hour-and-a-half Historic Lake Tour. Or, take a tour that brings you across the lake to the remote townsite of Proctor where you’ll be guided on a hike through the remains of the ghost town.</p> <figure id="attachment_2262" class="pom-image-wrap photo-alignnone"><img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==" data-lazy-load decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2262" data-src="https://cdn.mysmokymountainpark.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/FontanaLake-PontoonBoat_GloriaWadzinski_1500.jpg?width=730" alt="Pontoon boat on Fontana Lake" width="1500" height="1000" data-srcset="https://cdn.mysmokymountainpark.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/FontanaLake-PontoonBoat_GloriaWadzinski_1500.jpg?width=720 720w, https://cdn.mysmokymountainpark.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/FontanaLake-PontoonBoat_GloriaWadzinski_1500.jpg?width=768 768w" /><figcaption class="pom-caption "><span class="article__caption">Pontoon boat on Fontana Lake</span> (Photo: Gloria Wadzinski)</figcaption></figure> <h3>Can You Swim in Fontana Lake?</h3> <p>You can swim at Fontana Lake, but there aren’t any swim beaches and since it’s a reservoir the shoreline can be steep depending on water levels. The best place to go to swim is the Fingerlake Day Use Area. While fed by the same water as Fontana Lake, Fingerlake is cut off from the main reservoir and no motorized boats are allowed, making it a great spot to enjoy calm waters. It’s a good idea to bring an innertube or other floatie since the shallow shoreline area is a bit limited. The day use area has picnic tables and lots of trees for shade so it’s the perfect place to post up for the day. It’s open April through October and is located in the town of Almond along Hwy. 28. Note that alcohol is not allowed and there are no lifeguards.</p> <h3>Hike or Bike the Trails Around Fontana Lake</h3> <p>If you prefer to stick to dry land, there’s tons of incredible trails surrounding Fontana Lake in both the national park and national forest. Note that dogs and mountain bikes are allowed on national forest trails unless otherwise posted, but neither are allowed on trails in the national park.</p> <p>Some of the best singletrack in North Carolina can be found between Almond and the Fontana Dam near the shores of the lake. The Tsali Recreation Area, named after the famous Cherokee resistance leader, has four loops revered by mountain bikers, but also enjoyed by horseback riders and hikers. The loops are all rated as moderately difficult and range from 4 miles to 13.9 miles. The Left Loop has gorgeous views towards Great Smoky Mountains National Park across the lake. If you’re not traveling with your own mountain bike, you can rent from several shops in nearby Bryson City. Hikers can use the trails any day of the week, but use alternates on each loop daily between horses and bikes. Check the signs at the trailhead to see what’s open to your mode of transportation that day.</p> <p>To access some of the most remote parts of Great Smoky Mountains National Park, you’ll want to head to the north shore of the lake. You can do this either by driving across the dam and parking on the other side, or taking the hiker shuttle boat across the lake from the Fontana Marina. The shuttle is offered at 8:30 a.m., 12:30 p.m. and 4 p.m. Reservations are required by calling 828-498-2017. From the parking area across the dam, you can access the Appalachian Trail or Lakeshore Trail. For a more remote experience, follow Lakeshore Trail as far as you like along the northern shore of the lake before turning around. The full trail goes 33 miles to Bryson City. This was once part of Hwy. 288 before the dam created the lake and you’ll find evidence of the old roadway including sections of asphalt and old cars along the way. From the hiker shuttle you can access Eagle Creek, Hazel Creek, Mills Creek, Pikey and Kirkland Creek, Chambers Creek and Forney Creek trails along with their corresponding backcountry campsites. Any of these trails are a great way to experience the wilderness and history of the park, but Hazel Creek is an especially good choice to explore the area surrounding the town of Proctor which was flooded when the dam went up. You’ll find the remains of a lumber mill, cemeteries and one house. Hike as far as you like before returning to the shore to catch your return shuttle, or hiking approximately 10 miles back to the parking area on the north side of the dam.</p> <figure id="attachment_2266" class="pom-image-wrap photo-alignnone"><img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==" data-lazy-load decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2266" data-src="https://cdn.mysmokymountainpark.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/FontanaLake-kayak-Island-452522391_GettyImages_1500.jpg?width=730" alt="Kayaking toward an island on Fontana Lake" width="1500" height="1125" data-srcset="https://cdn.mysmokymountainpark.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/FontanaLake-kayak-Island-452522391_GettyImages_1500.jpg?width=720 720w, https://cdn.mysmokymountainpark.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/FontanaLake-kayak-Island-452522391_GettyImages_1500.jpg?width=768 768w" /><figcaption class="pom-caption "><span class="article__caption">Kayaking toward an island on Fontana Lake</span> (Photo: Getty Images)</figcaption></figure> <h2>Fontana Lake’s Hidden History</h2> <p>During World War II, the U.S. Government was desperate for more electricity to power the first Manhattan Project site, Oak Ridge, along with an aluminum plant. The wide Little Tennessee River became the target. A whirlwind project was begun to build what would become the tallest dam east of the Rocky Mountains. Fontana Dam was completed in just 36 months, flooding more than 10,000 acres. The problem was, this land wasn’t empty.</p> <p>Several small towns including Proctor, Judson and Bushnell, many homesteads, a railroad and a highway lay in the area that was now being flooded. The highway and railroad were hastily relocated, cutting off access to even the areas that weren’t in the floodwaters’ path. The Tennessee Valley Authority, the agency responsible for the dam construction, offered residents pitiful sums of money for their land. The ones who didn’t sell had their property taken anyways. Some spots disappeared under the newly filled Fontana Lake, others were burned to the ground, the land on the lake’s north shore now belonging to the new Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The project displaced 1,311 families.</p> <p>While being forced to give up their land and way of life was an unspeakable hardship for these North Carolinians, perhaps the most heartbreaking aspect was losing access to the cemeteries that held their ancestors’ graves. More than 2,000 graves were either cut off or relocated. The government promised to build a new road leading to the lake’s north shore so that the area’s former residents could visit their departed and stay in touch with their heritage, but only a small section was ever completed. In 2010, the government settled with Swain County for $52 million and sealed the road’s fate–it would never be finished.</p> <p>Today, the National Park Service facilitates several Decoration Days each year throughout the spring and summer where boats take community members across the lake to decorate the cemeteries.</p> <h2>Where to Stay and Eat at Fontana Lake</h2> <p>Fontana Village is one of the most popular places to stay along the lake. The lodge itself has a variety of rooms and stand alone cabins and a campground are also available. Fontana Village is home to several restaurants including the beautiful Mountainview Bistro, the Wildwood Grill, a bar, ice cream shop and pool snack bar.</p> <p>Several national forest and private campgrounds, along with private vacation rentals, can also be found along the shores of Fontana Lake. For a totally unique experience, search VRBO or Airbnb for a houseboat.</p> <p><a href="https://www.mysmokymountainpark.com/road-trips/gateway-towns/bryson-city-nc/">Bryson City</a>, 10 minutes east of the lake’s eastern tip and 40 minutes from the dam, is the closest large town. You’ll find hotels, restaurants and the Great Smoky Mountains Railroad there, which will give you a unique perspective on the lake.</p> </div> <div style="display: flex; margin-top: 32px;"> <div class="c-utility-tray"> <out-high-five-reaction contentUid="https://www.mysmokymountainpark.com/things-to-do/outdoor-recreation/fontana-lake/" displayCounter></out-high-five-reaction> </div> </div> </div> <aside class="c-content__aside l-columns--sm u-align--center u-spacing--double"> <div class="tm-o-meta-sidebar tm-u-text-align--left tm-u-space--x8--bottom"> <div class="tm-o-section__header tm-o-meta-sidebar__header"> <div class="tm-o-meta-sidebar__image-container"> <div class="tm-o-meta-sidebar__image"> <a href="https://www.mysmokymountainpark.com/byline/mikaela-ruland/"> <img src="https://cdn.mysmokymountainpark.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/MikaelaRuland-corn_courtesy_800v.jpg?crop=1:1&width=100&enable=upscale" alt="Mikaela Ruland"> </a> </div> <out-follow-button class="follow-model u-hide" feedTarget="mikaela-ruland" userType="author" followSource="articlePage"></out-follow-button> </div> <div> <a href="https://www.mysmokymountainpark.com/byline/mikaela-ruland/" itemprop="author" itemtype="https://schema.org/Person" class="tm-o-meta-sidebar__author tm-u-typography-heading-6">Mikaela Ruland</a> </div> </div> <div class="tm-o-meta-sidebar__content u-spacing"> <div class="tm-o-meta-sidebar__dek tm-u-pad--top"> Mikaela Ruland is the editor in chief of National Park Trips.
