I am a coast guard licensed 6-pack captain. I run a Ranger Bay Boat powered by a Yamaha 150, and use mainly Penn, Abu Garcia and St Croix equipment. We offer lake fishing at Fontana, Glenville and Cheoah in NC, Hartwell and Jocassee in SC and Lanier in Ga. I love to take families with kids and we troll, live bait fish and conventional spin fish for bass, stripers, trout and walleye.

Pinnacle Park

Reviewed By jmpncsu - Raleigh, United States

We took our dog for a hike at Pinnacle Park and had a great time. It was right after snow the park was winter wonderland. We made a loop with East Fork and West Fork Trails to go up to the Pinnacle for stunning views of the mountains and Sylva far down below. We also made a detour to Gina Falls and Fisher Falls. The waterfalls are off trail and somewhat difficult to find, though Fisher Falls is visible from East Fork Trail. The going was slow in the snow, but if we return, I'd like to also hike to Blackrock Mountain.
