Nantahala River crosses the National Forest of the same name, joining the Little Tennessee River and Fontana Lake. The word Nantahala comes from the Cherokee people and means "Land of the Noonday Sun". This is a good river for rafting, you can find more information of activities in the river at Nantahala Outdoor Center.

Ranger Fall is a small waterfall hidden in the forest, with very clean water as it comes from Sticky Creek, a river that flows in that same valley, surrounded by laurel and rhododendrons. During the dry season the volume of water may be lower, and the trail there is not as frequented and as well maintained as others in Nantahala.

From here there is a good connection to Franklin, about 18 km. The city has everything an AT hiker needs hotels, restaurants, shopping, laundromat, outdoor shop and above all the "Lazy Hiker" brewery.

Ellicott's Rock is a rock marked in 1811 by Andrew Ellicott as part of a survey. The survey was intended to settle the boundary dispute between Georgia and North Carolina, which had even led to a brief armed conflict. The engraving 'N-G' was standing for North Carolina – Georgia.

Good for rafting.

I can only recommend the restaurant, the food is extremely delicious.

On the NOC campus you can enjoy all kinds of leisure activities in summer. For the AT hiker, the NOC mainly offers a restaurant (delicious), an outdoor shop and you can stay overnight there cheaply (the cabins are definitely better than the basecamp)
