Beautiful drive with amazing views. Once at the end, there is some nice hikes you can do or just walk through the tunnel for some great photos.

A scenic mountain highway that takes you six 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

With so much to see in Bryson City, your visit won’t be complete without a trip to…nowhere. That’s right: this scenic mountain highway was started as an alternative route to replace an old road, buried under the waters of Fontana Lake, as a result of a dam, but was never finished. So now, Lakeside Drive, known to locals as the Road to Nowhere, serves as a lane that goes six miles (9.7 km) into the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and ends at the mouth of a tunnel, offering stunning views of the mountain and lake. You can drive to the park and leave your car in the parking area after Nolands Creek, from where you will have a short walk to the tunnel. It’s a destination with an interesting story and many beautiful views to offer.

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 😊.
