Since my old original post of a kayaking camping trip on Fontana Lake draws so many visitors to this site (about 10-20 per day), I figured I’d make a detailed post of recommendations and resources for planning a similar trip to this deceivingly remote piece of the majestic Great Smoky Mountains. I presume most of the visitors who stumble upon my post are trying to piece together info on the Fontana Lake region–a region that doesn’t have too many detailed information sources (at least not on the web). I spent weeks searching and piecing together info from the web. One website would have some great info, but leaves holes where I needed more info; another website would be relatively thin on the details, but provide the missing puzzle piece I was looking for! My hope is that I can give you, the trip planner, as many pieces of your puzzle as I can so you can have a great trip.
