Santeetlah Lake

Part of the Nantahala National Forest, this recreational lake consists of 3,000 acres of open water in the midst of green mountain slopes, and is ideal for fishing, kayaking and canoeing.

Reviewed By BlairGa - Birmingham, United States

This lake is ringed by majestic blue mountains and forested shoreline. It's the perfect place for a quiet cruise on still waters, a picnic on the water, a quiet conversation or a little bird watching. We saw two large bald eagles in one of the sloughs. There were several kayaks and paddleboards, but we didn't see many ski boats during our midday boat ride on a Friday. Not sure whether the lake would be busier on the weekend. It can't be too busy, because there didn't appear to be many lake houses. Other than a few densely populated areas, this lake is mostly surrounded by woods and mountains! It's a gorgeous and serene place.

Yellow Creek Falls

Reviewed By WildHaireHiking - Tyler, United States

This is a wonderful short hike off Hwy 129, the falls are about 1/3 of a mile from the road. You will pass a couple of spots on trail that look like the waterfall. There is a sign that says Falls, so make sure you go far enough. This is definitely worth the time and effort.

Tail of the Dragon

Reviewed By charless32 - Knoxville, United States

Tail of the Dragon is a road (US 129) in the foothills of the Smokey Mountains that is a favorite of sports car and motorcycle enthusiasts. The road has an 11 mile stretch that has over 318 curves. This road is not for those that get motion sickness and I do not recommend driving it at night. There are many crashes on this road as auto and motorcycle drivers test themselves beyond their skill set. If you are looking for a road that will let you know exactly how good a driver you are - - - - this is your test track.

Reviewed By ICLEANTEETH

Wish I would have known better what I was looking at when we were on Highway 129, but still got a decent picture of the dam.
