Robbinsville in Graham County, North Carolina.

hey im going down to Robbinsville in Graham County, North Carolina.
anyone have any ideas on things to do with the family we have acabin rented and was looking for some back woods car camping / forest service roads ....and just a great place to view the stars...
any ideas help would be great

 

There is this place in Fayetteville called Fun Fun fun.. it has laser tag and mini golf

 

where do you pick up the national forest road????
can you camp along it?

 

Guys Robbinsville is WAAAAAAY out in Nantahala National Forest...hell and gone from where any of us are.

Brutal, best I can offer you is there's a lot of national forest/recreation land out that way...can look into fishing, hiking, trail riding (if you like bikes or horses), camping...

 

yea it is like 20 miles from telico tenn. i think.. yea we are looking for some sweet spots and thing to do out in nature...
anyone else.....

 

I live pretty much 10 miles from the Pisgah National Forest in Haywood County! Its some beautiful country. You can hit up Lake Chatuge which is in clay county (nc). Or you can hit up the Blue Ridge Parkway which will blow your mind. O by the way im in Haywood County if you were wondering. If you like trout fishing you can go to Cherokee which is an indian reservation which has Harrah's casino. I would really recommend going to cherokee! O if your kids are younger they have Santa's Land!

 

Also along with all this where you are going there are two lakes on either side of you closer than Chatuge. One is Fontana, and the other is Santeetlah. Both are beautiful lakes!! I have a place on Fontana. Robinsville is a very small place. Like said above Cherokee is a great trout fishing getaway, although you are like an hour or so away from it. Beautiful place out here. Mountains everywhere!! You'll love it. Tacofanatic05 and I are from this area. You won't be let down!!

 

ok here is the final plan im leaving this week.....
first shenandoah n.p. 2 nights via skyline drive
then to fairy stone s.p. 1 night via blue ridge pky
then to pisgah n.f.==LOOKING FOR SUGGESTIONS.... 2-3 nights " camping"

THEN TO SANTEETLAH LAKE ..via the dail of the dragon rd ==2 nights we have a cabin...
then to cades cove for 3 nights but first a stop at the casino in cherokee

what i need is some sweet things to see near the pisgah n.f. area

 

Pisgah NF has Looking Glass Rock. There's a hiking trail to the top with a sweet view, great spot for a picnic.

I'm usually down there climbing the steep side...don't be surprised if climbers pop up to greet you.

Plenty to do in Graham County.

Lots of forest service roads.

Tatham Gap Road (Trail of Tears)
Winding Stairs Road
Tellico Gap Road
Stewart Cabin/Wagon Train/North River Road

 

nice.....anything else anyone recomends????

 

do you know exactly where i can pick up the forest service road off of 321?

 

hey do you know where i can rent a canoe near the lake???

 

no im coming from the north off of the blue ridge parkway...then to robbinsville
also i hear the road is closed near asherville due to a rock slide?????
id like to bypass this on a forest road if possible

 

I-40 is closed due to a rock slide at the TN/NC line.
US129 (The Dragon) is closed from a rock slide where it opens up at the lake. You can access the Dragon (11 mile stretch) during daylight hours from the NC side, but not the TN side. Expect to see motorcycles.

I can recommend the Cherohala Skyway for a scenic ride. You get enough elevation change that it changes seasons. Towards the Tellico end there is a turnoff where you can go see a waterfall and hike around some. There is also good ice cream next to the river as you get into Tellico.

 

ok whata u got for me in cherokee besides the casino???

 

thanks ....dont worry im hitting the casino.....

 

well im out leaving in a few hours for the road trip......if you see my silver taco in a ditch lend a hand lol.......
later guys and thanks
