Mountain Waters Scenic Byway

Beginning in Highlands, this 61 miles nationally-recognized byway winds through southern Appalachian hardwood forests, by numerous waterfalls and lakes and through two river gorges. Traveling from Highlands to Almond the Mountain Waters Scenic Byway follows U.S. 64, old U.S. 64, SR 1310 (Wayah Road), and U.S. 19. The last miles of this drive travels through the Nantahala National Forest ending at the Fontana Lake. If you enjoy a scenic drive where you can picnic along the way then this drive is for you. Along the byway you can also enjoy boating, canoeing and rafting, biking, fishing, hiking and swimming. Bring your boat, canoe, or kayak and enjoy a fun-filled day on one of the area lakes or on the Nantahala River.

Areas of Interest Along the Byway:

CULLASAJA GORGE: makes up the first 7.5 miles of this byway. Traveling through the beautiful Cullasaja Gorge, the winding road parallels the Cullasaja River and offers spectacular scenic views of the river and the waterfalls of Highlands on U.S. 64. A side road actually allows you to drive behind Bridal Veil Falls, where the thin "veil" of water falls for 120 feet.

DRY FALLS: You'll find this 75-foot beauty 2.1 miles west of Highlands on U.S. 64. From the parking area, a short paved trail leads you directly behind the waterfall.

CLIFFSIDE LAKE & VAN HOOK GLADE: Cliffside Lake Recreation Area is 4.4 miles west of Highlands and then 1.5 miles off U.S. 64. This area offers camping, picnicking, swimming, fishing and hiking.

WAYAH CREEK: West of Franklin, the byway turns right on old U.S. 64, then left on SR 1310. SR 1310 (Wayah Road) parallels much of the 6-mile stream. The creek is a good fishing stream, but most of the streamside is private land and is posted "no trespassing". Along Wayah Creek is the Arrowood Glade Picnic Area. Wayah Crest Picnic Area is at Wayah Gap.

WAYAH BALD: A side trip to Wayah Bald is well worthwhile. From Wayah Gap, journey 1.3 miles up gravel Forest Road (FR) 69 and see the Wilson Lick Ranger Station. Built about 1913, Wilson Lick was the first ranger station in the Nantahala National Forest. Continue another 3.2 miles up FR 69 to Wayah Bald. Take the short, paved trail to the historic Wayah Bald Fire Tower. Built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930's, the tower provides a great view of the southern Appalachian Mountains in Georgia, Tennessee, and both Carolinas. You can picnic nearby at the Wayah Bald Picnic Area. Two long-distance trails, the Appalachian Trail and the Bartram Trail, cross the mountain at the tower.

NANTAHALA LAKE: Located about 6 miles west of Wayah Gap, this lake has 29 miles of shoreline and offers fishing and boating. Boat ramps are available.

NANTAHALA RIVER: This mountain river offers great trout fishing in its upper and lower reaches. The stretch of river above the powerhouse has excellent catch-and-release fishing from spring until early summer.

NANTAHALA RIVER GORGE: The Nantahala River draws many boaters who enjoy whitewater rafting, canoeing, and kayaking. Many businesses along the river offer both guided and unguided raft rentals. Most rafting trips begin from the Nantahala River Launch Site and float down the 8.5-mile whitewater run. About 2.75 miles downriver from this launch site is the Ferebee Memorial Picnic Area, which provides another launch and takeout area. At the lower end of the Nantahala River, a commercial-only takeout and a private boater area are provided. From a wooden walkway, spectators get a thrilling view of the wild ride over the final series of rapids, including Nantahala Falls. Nantahala River outfitters, under Forest Service permit, can help plan trips to fit your skill level and provide any equipment you might need.

FONTANA LAKE: This lake offers great Bass and Pike fishing with 11,685 acres of water surface and also provides recreational water activities such as boating, kneeboarding, swimming, and water skiing. Construction of the 480 foot high Fontana Dam, which was completed in 1944 and is the highest Dam east of the Rockies, backed water for 30 miles to make up what is now the Fontana Lake. Numerous boat ramps are available.

We had a wonderful time.  A Mountain Memory was so cozy, we felt very much at home the moment we walked in the door.  The beds were amazingly comfortable.  We will definitely be renting again! Mark & Wendy, Debary FL 1/12

We did enjoy renting ‘A Mountain Memory’ last week.  Thanks!  The cabin was very comfortable.  Loved the fireplace, Jacuzzi tub and the hot tub.  I was impressed by the nice furnishings and appliances.  I really appreciated finding the cupboards stocked so well with dishes, pans, etc.  I came with a cake on hand to make and expected to hand mix it, but was very happy to find the electric mixer in the kitchen instead!  I appreciated finding extra blankets too.  The TV set-up is also very nice… we really enjoyed the Direct TV, as that’s not something we have at home.  We were surprised to find a DVD player and wireless internet as well, because I don’t think those were listed in the amenities.  All around, a great vacation… Very relaxing!!!
Sheila & John, Piedmont SC 12/11

The cabin was very nice! The pictures from the web site did little justice to the actual cabin. Other then the food we had to buy on the way in, everything was there. It was very clean. I was worried being a little close to the road if you could hear the cars and trucks but actually it was very quite at night. Overall it was very relaxing and cozy! The spa was clean and did take a little longer then expected to warm to desired temperature but once all set up it was the best feature! I also enjoyed having a washer/dryer combo there on site, it made our stay very smooth and plus I hate traveling back with smelly clothes. Thanks for the experience! The cabin was an easy find thanks to your directions. We will definitely be planning another trip in months/years to come. Thanks again!
David, Fort Worth TX 5/11

We had an enjoyable and memorable stay at Mountain Memory. The cabin was meticulously clean, quaint, and beautifully decorated. For us Floridians, it was cold, but you would never know it from inside our cabin. The central heat supplied us with ample amount of warm air, making us feel all cozy inside. We had a great time and look forward to visiting again soon. Sincerely, Jeremy and Lori, Bradenton, FL 12/10

Walt, we had a wonderful vacation!  "A Mountain Memory" was much more than we expected for the price!!!!  Our boys absolutely loved having a loft bedroom to themselves and their own bathroom.  My husband and I drank our coffee on the deck each morning, while listening to the sounds of nature and enjoying the cool mountain breeze. Thank you so much! Josh and Bev. Kentucky.

Our stay at the cabin was beyond my expectations. The pictures on the web some how don't do the cabin justice. My wife and I were both very impressed with how nice the cabin is. It was a truly wonderful stay that we hope to repeat in the future. Thank ya'll so much! Sincerely, Noah & Hannah p.s. See ya'll again soon!

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed ourselves at your Mountain Memory Home.  The pictures really don't do your cabins justice once you cross the threshold.  We literally had to force ourselves out of the cabin it was so nice.  We have not decided were we are going this year for our anniversary but your place by far has been the best and well worth the 6hr drive from Greensboro, NC. Thanks again, JD

Your cabin was absolutely lovely and made our stay in North Carolina very, very pleasurable. Very clean and well equipped and the location was just superb for the things we wanted to do. My husband took his motorbike with us so we enjoyed many days of riding the tail of the dragon and even took several day trips to Tennessee. We rafted on the Nantalaha River several times, took a few day hikes on the AT, and did a few of the very challenging trails at Tsali. We also had a lot of fun visiting Asheville and the smaller towns. Great vacation! A fabulous vacation and we would love the rent your cabin on the lake next time. Bobbie

What a fantastic way to spend a honeymoon!  The cabin was more than we could have imagined.  Immaculate, romantic, completely relaxing and inviting.  The decor is perfect and the Jacuzzi and hot tub, well, what can we say?  Thank you, thank you, thank you for sharing this lovely retreat.  We hope to celebrate many anniversaries and special occasions in your "cabin in the sky". With warmest regards, James and JoAnne

I just wanted to say that my boyfriend and I loved "A Mountain Memory".  The pictures you had on your website really sold me on this cabin and once we got there we were not disappointed.  Thanks again and we will definitely be back!  Vic

Walt, Our family had a great week! The cabin was much more than we had expected. So wonderful! Everything from the towels to the hot tub were "top of the line". We will certainly be back. Take care and thanks again. The Cockrell clan

Shari and I had the most wonderful and beautiful time during our stay! We said over and over again to each other that our "Mountain Memory" was the best vacation either of us have ever had! We enjoyed it so much that we never left the driveway in the car during our entire time there! We did take a walk up the road (found out how out of shape we were...) but the rest of the time we just relaxed and enjoyed our time together in "A Mountain Memory." We are seriously considering renting there again. Thank You. John and Shari

Which is it? Smoky or Smokey?

We spell it both ways on this web site. So, if you're searching for honeymoon, anniversary or family vacation rental accommodations and log homes, cabins and cottages for rent in the "Smokey" mountains, you'll be sure to find us. Both are common spellings. But if you want to be correct about it, spell it the way the National Park Service does — the Great Smoky Mountains.
Smokey the Bear, on the other hand, spells his name the other way.
And if you're wondering about "Smokeys", "Smokys" or "Smokies," they're all correct.

If you searched for Ashville NC, you're not alone. Asheville North Carolina may be the only city name that is not spelled "Ashville".
