Description

The Lakeshore Trail is an approximate 35 mile point-to-point trail from Fontana Dam to Bryson City NC. It is one of the few long-distance trails in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The route begins at the trailhead off Lakeview Drive on the Fontana Dam side, and ends at the trailhead just through the Road to Nowhere tunnel at the Lakeview Drive parking area on the Bryson City side. The route is marked fairly well with signage at all/most intersections, although no blazes. Also worth nothing, the Benton MacKaye follows the Lakeshore Trail for the entire 35 miles.
