In the heart of the Nantahala National Forest, the Nantahala River is a family friendly, nationally recognized river of recreation. The most popular in the Southeast, it is one of the oldest rivers in the world and gets its name from an Indian word meaning, “Land of the noonday sun”. It is a Class II-III dam-controlled river pulling its water from the bottom of Nantahala Lake. The water is released from a dam about 15 miles upstream and pulled from approximately 250 feet in depth, and released daily. Since the water does not see sunlight until its release, it stays cool year around. The pristine, crystal-clear mountain water then runs its course through the Nantahala River emptying into Fontana Lake. |
