Bryson City, NC local activities and attractions

Welcome to Swain County, North Carolina – home of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, the Cherokee Indian Reservation and the charming mountain town of Bryson City. We’re your base camp for adventure, your link to a rich culture, your passage to the Great Smokies – the oldest mountains in the world. Unlike other mountain communities, nearly half of Swain County is in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. In fact, our borders embrace almost 500 square miles of protected federal land and wilderness areas, four whitewater rivers, Fontana Lake and Clingman’s Dome, the highest mountain top in the Great Smokies.

Winter, spring, summer or fall, we’re the place to be when you want to enjoy the outdoors. Southern hospitality comes naturally here. And for a small mountain town, Bryson City has amazing variety.

Nothing cools you off like rafting or kayaking through a deep mountain gorge on a rushing whitewater river. Everything you need is right here. “All Aboard” at Bryson City Depot. Take an old-fashioned railroad excursion through the beautiful Nantahala Gorge.

Spend the morning rafting down the Nantahala River. Never rafted before? No problem. The Nantahala Outdoor Center (NOC) and many other outfitters offer fully guided tours as well as guide assisted tours for the more experienced rafters.

There are hundreds of miles of blazed and wilderness trails for hikers, bikers and horseback riders. Detailed maps are available at our visitor center.

Fill your creel from miles of mountain streams generously stocked with brown, rainbow and the elusive native brook trout. Our lakes are swimming with bream, bass, walleye and crappie just waiting to take your bait. Canoes, rowboats, pontoon boats, ski boats, houseboats, fishing boats and even inner tubes all have plenty of room to roam across Fontana, our 30-mile lake.

Play across mountaintops at our 18-hole, par 72 Smoky Mountain Golf Club. Find out what Great Smoky Mountains golf is all about. Native American history and culture come alive at the Museum of the Cherokee Indian, Oconaluftee Indian Village, and “Unto These Hills,” the outdoor drama that portrays the poignant story of the Cherokee Nation.

For over 100 years we’ve been welcoming travelers and vacationers to the natural beauty of the Great Smoky Mountains. Discover our pioneering past as you explore this unique World Heritage Site. National historic landmarks and mountain traditions abound.

The only place on Earth with over 1,400 flowering plants, 140 types of trees, and more than 300 species of animals, birds and fish.

The Road to Nowhere and Waterfall Trails in the Great Smoky Mountains

The Road to Nowhere — With so much to see and do in the Bryson City area, it is hard to imagine a day when you might have nowhere to go. But should that happen, there is always the Road to Nowhere, a scenic mountain highway that takes you eight miles into the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and ends at the mouth of a tunnel. On the map, it is called Lakeview Drive, but to the citizens of Swain County it is The Road to Nowhere — A Broken Promise.

The Great Smoky Mountains National Park's half-million acres are equally divided between Tennessee and North Carolina. And with roughly forty percent of the Park in Swain County, Bryson City is the ideal spot for a relaxing Smoky Mountain vacation — away from the more carnival atmosphere of Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge.

Even though the GSMNP is the nation's most-visited national park, most visitors only experience a small portion of the Park. The most popular areas are along US 441 between Gatlinburg and Cherokee and Cades Cove. But there's a lot more to see and do, particularly in North Carolina's half of the Park.


Deep Creek — Less than two miles from downtown Bryson City, the Deep Creek recreational area of the Park offers activities for the entire family, including camping, hiking, trout fishing and the area's best whitewater tubing. From this entrance hikers can access the many backcountry trails that wind through the Park, or take a leisurely stroll along the creek bank and picnic by the water's edge. Deep Creek is probably best known for its three waterfalls — Juneywhank, Toms Branch and Indian Creek Falls. All are just a short walk from the parking area.

Just a tank away – The Smoky Mountains of North Carolina are only 1 hour west of Asheville, just 3 hours from Atlanta and Charlotte, and 2 hours from Greenville, Knoxville & Chattanooga. Located in the northwest region of the state, we are just a short drive from Tennessee and Georgia. Only a day drive from other States east of the Mississippi River. Contact Us if you need more assistance while you are on the road.
