Fontana Lake pubic beach area is a short drive from The Best Nest Guesthouse. Take your paddle board, canoe, kayak, float or other non-motorized craft to this recreation area. If you want to venture out on the greater lake area, head over to Almond Boat Dock and rent a pontoon boat for a 1/2 day or full day! It's a wonderful lake full of fisherman, boaters and even a couple of house boat communities!

This hike is fairly short... less than 3 miles round trip. However, it is considered a moderate trail with some steep climbs. But the view from the top is worth all the effort! once you reach the summit, you'll see a tall fire tower with a set of stairs to the top. Take the climb for an unmatched view of the Nantahala Forest, Fontana Lake, the Little Tennessee River valley and Telico Gap.

Take an interesting and erie walk through the tunnel at the end of "The Road to Nowhere". A quick Google search will tell you all you need to know about the history of the tunnel and why it's there. On the other side of the tunnel is endless miles of hiking to get your mountain outdoor therapy 😊.
