If you are not into kayaking or rafting its still fun to sit and watch everyone else do it! Great shop, fishing area, places to eat or picnic.

One-stop shopping for all your outdoor needs in this area. I've only rafted and paddled here, so I can't speak to the many other activities they offer, but there the river activities are legion. Go on your own or use one of their guides, it doesn't matter. They've been doing this long enough that they have it down to a... More

We were here for an hour as part of the Smoky Mountain Railroad excursion. We walked around, had an ice cream and waited for the train to depart. If you are into walking, canoeing, or any outdoor activity, the store has everything you could need (including a $450 kayak paddle). Otherwise, it was just a pretty spot on the river.

River's End is a weekly tradition for us. We're greeted enthusiastically, seated quickly, and cared for well. Food is fun there! Always a pleasure.

The Adventure Park is more challenging than I expected...a GREAT workout, but also an exceptional self-esteem booster for older kids and adults! Be sure to work the ropes course first and then reward yourself at the end with the relaxing zip line.... More

NOC puts safety first, and makes certain to provide an outstanding customer experience. The Nantahala River gorge... More
