The picturesque small town of Bryson City, North Carolina is located along the southern edge of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and the scenic Tuckasagee River.  Fontana Lake lies just a few miles downstream.The town's roots date back to 1872, when it was then known as Charleston.  The establishment of the railroad in 1884 made the town more accessible and the residents changed its name to Bryson City in 1889. Take in most of the town from the Great Smoky Mountain Railroad, a 52-mile rail journey through valleys, inside the Smokys winding tunnels and across its spectacular gorges.The Deep Creek section of the Smoky Mountains has a large campground and several trailheads for walking, biking and fishing as well as opportunities for rafting, kayaking and tubing down the creek. Winding through the park is a beautiful 7.2-mile dead-end road that is referred to as the "Road to Nowhere." You can also enjoy the views from breathtaking Blue Ridge Parkway.Bryson City offers a wide range of outdoor activities from trails for hiking, walking, biking, fishing, camping, hunting, rafting, kayaking, paddle boarding, and tubing down Deep Creek.Enjoy seeing the peak of fall color during the second week of October in the higher elevations and during the third week of October in the mid-elevations. The wide variety of trees, elevations and microclimates in the Smokys and the timing of the first frost all combine to determine how long the leaf season will last.
