Nantahala is the name given long ago to this corner of the Smokies by the Cherokee as they hunted and traveled the steep Nantahala River Gorge. They learned the sun would only light their way when it was Nun-da-ye-li - Nantahala - "a noonday sun".
Whether you are looking for a quiet getaway or an active vacation, Nantahala has it all. Comfortable lodging where you can just relax for awhile; fast water for fishing, rafting and boating; wooded trails for quiet hiking; and a high elevation lake with crystal clear water for all kinds of fun.
You may have never heard of this beautiful corner of the Smokies, but just come to visit once and we know you'll be back – again and again. Discover refreshingly unsophisticated Nantahala - the real Smoky Mountains!
