Bryson City and the Great Smoky Mountains of North Carolina — for exciting vacations
and quiet romantic getaways

A visit to Bryson City will take you back to a simpler, less-complicated time. Yet you'll have lots to do in the Swain County area of Western North Carolina. We're home to much of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, including its highest peak, Clingmans Dome. We have the Nantahala River, one of the nation's most popular whitewater venues, and beautiful Fontana Lake with the highest dam east of the Rockies.

Bryson City One of the Nation's Best. The book "101 Best Outdoor Towns" has named Bryson City the nation's third best whitewater paddling town. "If you can't find something exciting to do in Bryson City, you're not breathing," it says.

Spectacular beauty. We have cascading trout streams, biking and hiking trails and breathtaking mountain views. We have beautiful mountain roadways, including the southern leg of the Blue Ridge Parkway and the curvy "Tail of the Dragon" at Deal's Gap. You can ride a historic scenic excursion train. And you can experience the rich cultural heritage of the Cherokee Indians.

Your Smoky Mountain vacation can include shopping, sightseeing or just strolling along Deep Creek with its three crystal waterfalls. And Bryson City's central location offers an endless array of day-trips to nearby Asheville, Gatlinburg, Cades Cove, Joyce Kilmer Forest, Cherohala Skyway, Chimney Rock and dozens of small towns and backroads throughout Western North Carolina and Eastern Tennessee.

There's a variety of Bryson City lodging accommodations available to visitors from campgrounds to quaint motels to private cabins and cottages to delightful country inns, lodges, bed and breakfasts and vacation rentals.

We invite you to experience the adventure and the special beauty of the North Carolina Smokies. Come for a weekend or for an extended vacation.
