Adventuring in the Springtime
When the sun comes out, so do we! Spring is perfect for outdoor activities such as hiking, swimming, biking, and much more!

Re-opening of Road to Nowhere
One of our most unique spots in Bryson City just got renovated and is a site you must add to your spring bucket list when visiting us. Located on Lakeview Drive, “The Road to Nowhere,” is a six-mile winding road weaving through the National Forest, with multiple scenic stops. Lakeview Drive, a scenic mountain highway just a few miles from downtown, provides you with beautiful overlooks, lush seasonal foliage, and exciting hiking opportunities, and has become a perfect destination for breathtaking pictures. “The Road to Nowhere,” is part of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, and fortunately has had some recent renovations! Enjoy a smooth paved road ride with no potholes, that is perfect for vehicle drivers and motorcyclists. At the road’s end, you will reach a mile-long tunnel, which must be reached by walking on foot, or from hiking trails on the other side, including Noland Creek Trail, the Goldmine Loop, and Lakeshore Trails. Make sure to add cruising along the Road to Nowhere and visiting the mysterious tunnel at the road’s end to your list when visiting Bryson City!
