One may take a cable car ride into the depths of the Fontana Dam.
While I had been to the area many times, I had not ventured to Fontana Dam and its surroundings before. It is a magnificent feat of engineering going back 80 years and a must-see for travelers in NC. The story of the dam's construction to aid the World War II effort and as a post-Depression project is truly remarkable. It's a nice area to walk around, including over the full length of the dam. Well worth your time to trek out to Graham County, which has two other notable dams including one near Fontana. And the mountain scenery is really lovely.

We stuck around the dam area for about 20 minutes and just had to check out the sights. It was great to see the large older dam - from above and below. Restrooms currently closed for public use.
