That’s a lot of Smoky Mountain Rain

We’ve been talking a lot about mountains and dams, so take a look at this shot. Fontana Dam is is the highest concrete dam east of the Rocky Mountains, and impounds Fontana Lake. The lake is one of the deepest and most beautiful you’ll see in your travels, and it forms most of the southern border of Smoky Mountain National Park. The Appalachian Trail runs right along the top of the dam, and makes this a popular stop for visitors world wide.

‘Tis the Season for Weekenders

It’s fall ya’ll. Isn’t that what they say around here? If you’re feeling like a cruise through the Carolinas, you may find that crispy fall feeling you’ve been looking for in Greenville County, SC. Pictured here is the spillway for Lake Robinson. 800 acres of flat water bliss nestled into the South Carolina upstate is an easy drive up I-85 from Atlanta.

A Day Trip Away

October is the perfect time of year to visit America’s most popular National Park. The Great Smoky Mountains have a special place in the heart of many Americans, and the borders of the park are not even 3 hours from our Corridor. Pictured here is Cades Cove in late September, just before the leaves begin to turn. Millions of visitors travel to Cades Cove each year to take in sights unlike any in the country. Whether you are biking, hiking, or staying in the car, you are sure to see wildlife and the raw beauty of the Appalachians. Get in the car and make the drive!
