Hiking
Fontana Dam, the entrance to the Smokey Mountains. Films like "Picnic with Bears" or "Nell" were shot here. If you want to hike in the Smokey Mountains and also want to spend the night there, you have to pay a special permit. (Please inform in advance, as the rules are a little special) For AT Thruhiker there are also other rules.
