Nantahala National Forest
Mountains surpassing 5000 feet, cascading waterfalls, towering hardwood forests and whitewater foaming over the backs of boulders--these are the sights awaiting you in the Nantahala National Forest. Enjoy the panoramic views from Whiteside Mountain or Wayah Bald. A 2-mile loop trail to the top of the Whiteside cliffs, provides a spectacular view. Wayah Bald is especially beautiful in June when the azaleas and laurel bloom. Joyce Kilmer Memorial Forest, with it's 400-year old trees, is another breathtaking sight, as is WhiteWater Falls - the highest falls east of the Rocky Mountains.
The Nantahala River
The feature attraction of the region is a magnificent river gorge. Nantahala means "land of the noonday sun" because the steep gorge only gets direct sunlight during the middle of the day. The Nantahala River is a mecca for whitewater sports enthusiasts. You can bring your own kayak or raft, or rent one when you get there.
Mountain Waters National Scenic Byway-
Some of the most beautiful and spectacular scenery in the southern Appalachians includes two river Gorges and rural countryside. There is easy access to a wide variety of adventure on this 61.3 mile drive that winds through Southern Appalachian hardwood forest, two spectacular river Gorges, and rural countryside. From Highlands to Almond, the route follows US 64, old US 64, NC 1310, and US 19 through Nantahala National Forest. For the first 7.5 miles, the by-way travels through picturesque Cullasaja Gorge. The winding road parallels the river's most rugged course and offers scenic views of the river and waterfalls. If you stop at Bridal Veil Falls along the way, your car can get a natural car wash.

Hundreds of miles of Hiking Trails wind through Nantahala. It's a great place to enjoy the peace and wonder of nature, whatever your Hiking ability.
