The ancient Cherokee navigated mountain rivers in dugout canoes to get from place to place. Today's vacationing families ride the rapids just for fun. With towering cliffs above and the rush of the water below, river travel offers a unique perspective on nature's design and a chance to recapture the sense of awe and discovery felt by those who came before. Most whitewater outfitters provide guided tours staffed by skilled whitewater enthusiasts who make waterborne exploration fun, safe and exciting.

There are spectacular lakes too. Here, you'll find massive power lakes like Fontana near Robbinsville, and recreational lakes like Hiwasee, west of Murphy. All of the mountain lakes in the region are perfect for fishing, water-skiing, boating and camping.

Winter means hitting the slopes. At higher elevations, snow is not unusual and temperatures are nearly always ideal for making snow.

Swinging Through the Highlands

Altitude and attitude make golfing a special experience in the North Carolina Mountains. Here, dozens of mountain golf courses challenge you with natural hazards, dramatic views, rolling terrain, wide greens, and lush fairways, similar to the Scottish Highlands where the game began.
