The History of the Nantahala Watershed 

Grew up in Bryson City The Most Beautiful Area Ever! Thanks for posting this! My Family grew up on Silvermine across the rd. from the Nanatahala Outdoor Center😊ZKayEBest🌸🌿

If you can find a girl there, she will be spectacular. I courted a girl deep in the Smokies and in a place where water and mountains collide. Her tiny k-12 prepped her for greater things. It shocked me. I had a mid Atlantic private school education and she was better than I. Had to court her, which she accepted. Lasted 60 years and more. The Nantahala was part of our courting ground. What a girl. The saddest day was the day that I and her daughters had lay her to her rest.

Brings back memories of hiking the AT 1976 and 1995 ...loved hiking in the NC and TN mountains 💕.....thx for posting

Spent a week every summer growing up on Lake Nantahala. Beautiful. Caught many pike there with my dad.

My family spends a week on the lake every summer. It is interesting to learn more about the history of this special place.

Hiked, fished, hunted, camped in my mystical ancients' homeland here. Heaven!❤

My husbands mom still had a spring! Best water ever!!! ❤ my family has always had a spring or a well, we in the city limits this is the first time I’ve ever had city water and I hate it!!!! My daddy worked saw mills all his life! We still have my papaws / daddy’s cross cut saw! 🥰🙌🏼❤️

One of the greatest rivers in all of the Americas.

Very Good
