Museum:
The Road to Nowhere With so much to
see and do in the Bryson City area, it is
hard to imagine a day when you might have
nowhere to go. But just in case, there is always
the Road to Nowhere, a scenic mountain highway
that takes you eight miles into the Great
Smoky Mountains National Park and ends at
the mouth of a tunnel. On the map, it is called
Lakeview Drive, but to the citizens of Swain
County it is The Road to Nowhere and a "broken
promise".
Nantahala Gorge Highway 19/74
west out of Bryson City takes you through the
Nantahala Gorge, home to premier whitewater
rafting and kayaking. This is a beautiful drive
right next to the water with plenty of pull-offs
and picnic spots. Eight miles (as the river
flows) up the river, turn at the raft launch
site and continue up the Wayah Road for a few
miles following swift-flowing water past
waterfalls and great trout fishing spots. You
may continue on to Wayah Bald’s observation
tower and on to Franklin NC. For more scenic drives...
