Tubing in the Great Smokies</h2> <p>Bring your water shoes, strap the kids in life jackets, and plop in the cool waters of Smoky Mountain streams for a lazy couple of hours. Tubing and other water sports are not recommended in most areas of the national park except for the Deep Creek area, but just outside on both the Tennessee and North Carolina sides, you’ll find tube rental concessions, or you can use your own.</p> <figure class="pom-image-wrap alignnone"><img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==" data-lazy-load decoding="async" title="SM-Tom-Branch-tubing-CS_BrysonSwain_680" data-src="https://cdn.mysmokymountainpark.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/sm-tom-branch-tubing-cs_brysonswain_680.jpg?width=730" alt="Float past Tom Branch Falls along Deep Creek's 2-mile tubing section." /><figcaption class="pom-caption"><span class="o-caption">Float past Tom Branch Falls along Deep Creek’s 2-mile tubing section. </span><span class="o-credit">Photo by Charles Snodgrass courtesy of the Bryson City / Swain County NC Chamber of Commerce</span></figcaption></figure> <h3>Deep Creek inside the National Park</h3> <p>On the North Carolina side of the park, Bryson City is your stop for tubing in the Deep Creek area of the park. The tubing area is divided by difficulty – the upper whitewater section runs from Indian Creek through Deep Creek Gorge, and the calmer lower section is where the creek is wider and easier going. Rent your tube from concessionaires on West Deep Creek Road or bring your own. To get to the upper creek, it’s about a mile hike from the Deep Creek Trailhead to the tube put-in point. On the way down the creek, you’ll pass by Tom Branch Falls! Put in at the swimming hole above the first bridge for the milder float.</p> <p><a href="https://www.greatsmokies.com/Pdfs/DeepCreekTrails.pdf">Deep Creek Tubing Trail Map [PDF]</a></p> <h3>Cherokee, North Carolina</h3> <p>In Cherokee, North Carolina you can tube the Oconaluftee River past rapids and swimming holes. Tubing concessionaires will transport you to the river and pick you up at the end. The Oconaluftee River however has varying depths and obstacles so it’s best for a family with older children or adventurous adults.</p> <figure class="pom-image-wrap alignnone"><img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==" data-lazy-load decoding="async" title="NC-rope-tubing-Oconaluftee-Islands-Park_Gloria_680" data-src="https://cdn.mysmokymountainpark.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/nc-rope-tubing-oconaluftee-islands-park_gloria_680.jpg?width=730" alt="Rope tubing in Oconaluftee Islands Park" /><figcaption class="pom-caption"><span class="o-caption">Rope tubing in Oconaluftee Island Park.

Enterprising tubers hang on to the rope from the water as the current bounces them in place. The trick is to have a buddy standing on the bridge holding the rope’s other end. Infinity tube surfing!</p> <h3>Townsend, Tennessee</h3> <figure class="pom-image-wrap alignnone"><img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==" data-lazy-load decoding="async" title="TN-Townsend-Tubing-Little-River_Gloria_680" data-src="https://cdn.mysmokymountainpark.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/tn-townsend-tubing-little-river_gloria_680.jpg?width=730" alt="Tubing in the Little River near Townsend, TN. Photo by Gloria Wadzinski" /><figcaption class="pom-caption"><span class="o-caption">Tubing in the Little River near Townsend, TN. Photo by Gloria Wadzinski</span></figcaption></figure> <p>On the other side of the park, Townsend, Tennessee is the headquarters for tubing the Little River. The upper section of the river is for adventurous souls because it has exciting rapids and swimming holes. Farther down, the lower section of Little River is a family-friendly float that has mild rapids but mostly calm waters. Sometimes the river can run a little shallow and tubes have trouble getting over the rocky river bed. A new Townsend outfitter, Smoky Mountain Outdoor Center, has a solution with its <a href="http://www.thedailytimes.com/business/smoky-mountain-outdoor-center-offers-up-new-outdoor-outlet-in/article_1d784d27-f03a-56d9-94e7-6277dd168502.html">“Rocktagon” octagonal-shaped tubes</a>. The unique tube design skirts over the rocks for a floating experience with less drag and fewer snags.</p> <h2>2. Swimming and Wading in Great Smoky Mountains National Park</h2> <p>Great Smoky Mountains National Park is known for its waterfalls and streams. In the summertime when air temperatures are in the high 80s and 90s with 90% humidity, the cool 65 degree F mountain waters are a refreshing relief.</p> <h3>Midnight Hole in Big Creek</h3> <figure class="pom-image-wrap alignnone"><img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==" data-lazy-load decoding="async" title="SM-Midnight-Hole-Deep-Creek_FlickrAlexFord_680" data-src="https://cdn.mysmokymountainpark.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/sm-midnight-hole-deep-creek_flickralexford_680.jpg?width=730" alt="Midnight Hole in the Deep Creek area of Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Photo by Alex Ford via Flickr" /><figcaption class="pom-caption"><span class="o-caption">Midnight Hole in the Big Creek area of Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Photo by Alex Ford via Flickr</span></figcaption></figure> <p>On the Tennessee-North Carolina border off I-40, head to the Big Creek area for one of the most beautiful swimming holes in the park, Midnight Hole. From the Big Creek Campground, take Mouse Creek Falls trail for approximately 1.5 miles to reach the pool. Readers of an outdoor magazine ranked Midnight Hole as one of the top ten natural swimming holes in the country.</p> <h3>Waterfall Pools</h3> <figure class="pom-image-wrap alignnone"><img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==" data-lazy-load decoding="async" title="SM-Grotto-Falls_FlickrPfly_680" data-src="https://cdn.mysmokymountainpark.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/sm-grotto-falls_flickrpfly_680-1.jpg?width=730" alt="Park visitors venture behind Grotto Falls" /><figcaption class="pom-caption"><span class="o-caption">Park visitors venture behind Grotto Falls. Photo by Pfly via Flickr</span><span class="o-credit">Pfly/Flickr</span></figcaption></figure> <p>Crashing water from some of the park’s waterfalls have created inviting pools. Popular splashing spots on the Tennessee side of the park include Laurel Falls off Laurel Creek Road, Grotto Falls in the Roaring Fork area, and Abrams Falls in Cades Cove. Each requires a short hike. Abrams Falls has a large swimming area but stay away from the falls itself as it creates a strong undertow. Likewise, The Sinks on the Little Pigeon River has been a popular place to swim because of its accessibility from the road, but the fast current can be dangerous so we don’t recommend taking this plunge.</p> <h3>Swimming Outside the Park</h3> <p>Swimming spots just outside the park include Fontana Lake, a large reservoir in North Carolina on the southwest side of the Park, and the swimming beach at Oconaluftee Islands Park in Cherokee.</p> <p>Wherever you’re swimming, use caution: Cold, swift water and underwater hazards (such as boulders) pose a risk in some spots.</p> <h2>3. Whitewater Rafting Near the National Park</h2> <h3>Rafting the Pigeon River in Tennessee</h3> <figure class="pom-image-wrap alignnone"><img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==" data-lazy-load decoding="async" title="TN-Pigeon-River-Rafting_FlickrRazvanOrendovici_680" data-src="https://cdn.mysmokymountainpark.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/tn-pigeon-river-rafting_flickrrazvanorendovici_680.jpg?width=730" alt="Rafting the Pigeon River in Tennessee.

Photo by Razvan Orendovici via Flickr</span><span class="o-credit">Razvan Orendovici via Flickr</span></figcaption></figure> <p>The Pigeon River runs from North Carolina to Tennessee skirting the eastern edge of Great Smoky Mountains National Park. If you’ve done a lot of rafting, you already know this stretch of water by reputation. From Gatlinburg, head east to Wilton Springs, then south on Highway 40 as it travels along the river. Just before you cross the state line, you’ll see a dozen or so rafting outfitters lining the riverbanks ready to give you a thrilling adventure. The rafting launch point is minutes before the first of ten Class III rapids. Riding six miles of the upper Pigeon takes about one-and-a-half to two hours. Not up for rapids? The lower section of the Pigeon River serves up family-friendly scenic floats with Class I and II rapids. If you are staying in Gatlinburg or Pigeon Forge, you will find river outfitters that will transport you to the river.</p> <h3>Rafting the Nantahala River in North Carolina</h3> <figure class="pom-image-wrap alignnone"><img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==" data-lazy-load decoding="async" title="NC-Nantahala-River-Raft-and-Rail_WaterwaterAdventures_BrysonSwain_680" data-src="https://cdn.mysmokymountainpark.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/nc-nantahala-river-raft-and-rail_waterwateradventures_brysonswain_680.jpg?width=730" alt="Take a Raft-and-Rail excursion - half scenic rail excursion, half rafting trip on the Nantahala River.

Since it is dam-controlled, the Nantahala has a reliable water level for rafting. The river gets its name from an Indian word meaning, “Land of the Noonday Sun” and is one of the most popular whitewater spots in the Southeast. It is safe enough for families yet adventurous enough for experienced rafters.</p> <p>Three other nearby rivers also offer rafting opportunities. The Tuckasegee River has relaxing floats. The Class IV-V rapids of the Choah River are control-released waters from the Santeetlah Lake Dam with limited rafting dates. The Ocoee River also has challenging waters; it hosted the National Whitewater Championships for several years. Local rafting guides for all four rivers can be found in Bryson City, Topton, and Whittier.</p> <h2>4. Kayaking and Canoeing in the Smoky Mountains</h2> <h3>Whitewater Kayaking</h3> <p>The rivers and lakes south of Great Smoky Mountains National Park are a great place for kayak instruction (of all levels.) The Olympic Kayaking Team trains here on the Nantahala River. Whitewater kayakers enjoy many of the same rivers as rafters (see above).</p> <h3>Flatwater Kayaking and Canoeing</h3> <figure class="pom-image-wrap alignnone"><img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==" data-lazy-load decoding="async" title="NC-Fontana-Lake-CS_BrysonSwain_680" data-src="https://cdn.mysmokymountainpark.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/nc-fontana-lake-cs_brysonswain_680.jpg?width=730" alt="Fontana Lake follows the paths of the three mountain rivers that were flooded in 1944 — the Tuckaseigee, Nantahala, Little Tennessee." /><figcaption class="pom-caption"><span class="o-caption">Fontana Lake follows the paths of the three mountain rivers that were flooded in 1944 — the Tuckaseigee, Nantahala, Little Tennessee. Photo by Charles Snodgrass courtesy of the Bryson City / Swain County NC Chamber of Commerce</span></figcaption></figure> <p>For flat-water kayaking and canoeing, head to the lakes. Fontana Lake is a large reservoir with many fingers to explore with kayaks and canoes. Because of the complexity of the shore and the vastness of lake, it can be easy to get lost. We recommend that you take a guided paddling tour, or at the very least consult an expert and chart your trip on a map. Find kayaking outfitters in Bryson City, North Carolina.</p> <p>Cheoah Lake is smaller and an easier paddle if you want to go it alone.</p> <h2>5. Boating near Great Smoky</h2> <figure class="pom-image-wrap alignnone"><img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==" data-lazy-load decoding="async" title="NC-Cheoah-Lake_FlickrJasonAndKrisCarter_800" data-src="https://cdn.mysmokymountainpark.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/nc-cheoah-lake_flickrjasonandkriscarter_800.jpg?width=730" alt="Cheoah Lake. Photo by Jason and Kris Carter via Flickr" /><figcaption class="pom-caption"><span class="o-caption">Cheoah Lake. Photo by Jason and Kris Carter via Flickr</span></figcaption></figure> <p>Enjoy boating on two lakes on the southern edge of Great Smoky.</p> <p>Cheoah Lake is quaint in size and offers public boat ramps. The narrow lake is a perfect lane for fishing boats (not so much for water sports.) The lake is home to rainbow, brown, and brook trout. Even better – rainbow trout and muskie are stocked by the state of North Carolina.</p> <p>Fontana Lake is 35-miles long (or 26-miles or 29-miles depending on how you measure.) It has largely undeveloped banks because it borders the national park on one side and a national forest on the other. The lake has several areas for boat access, all on the south side of the lake.</p> <p>– Alarka Boat Dock<br /> – Almond Boat & RV Park<br /> – Cable Cove Boat Ramp<br /> – Flat Branch Boat Ramp<br /> – Fontana Dam<br /> – Fontana Village Marina<br /> – Lemmons Branch Boat Ramp<br /> – Lewellyn Branch Boat Ramp<br /> – Old 288 Boat Ramp<br /> – Prince Boat Dock</p> <p>Old 288, Lemmons Brand and Lewellyn Branch Boat Ramps are all handicap accessible.</p> <p>The Fontana Marina on the west side of the lake offers watercraft rentals, a store, fishing licenses, and lake tours. A pontoon boat acts as a hiker’s shuttle to and from the southern rim of the park for hikers.</p> <figure class="pom-image-wrap alignnone"><img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==" data-lazy-load decoding="async" title="NC-Fontana-Marina_Gloria_680" data-src="https://cdn.mysmokymountainpark.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/nc-fontana-marina_gloria_680.jpg?width=730" alt="The Fontana Marina on Lake Fontana.
