The restaurant sits right on the Nantahala River with indoor and covered porch
dining available.
The menu is moderately priced with anything from hamburgers to pizza.
We plan to depart Fontana Village at 3:30pm from in front of the General Store
and return in time for the Dragon Bingo.

If you have a chance and the river is running, walk up to Nantahala Falls from the restaurant. It's a couple 100 yards or so. This is the photo-op drop for the river where most of the "carnage" happens. The Nantahala is kind of a rite of passage for beginning whitewater canoeists and kayakers and the last drop is the final exam. The water is extremely cold all year and rolling in a kayak or canoe can give a pretty good ice cream headache. Definitely fun to watch, especially as younger paddlers make their first successful runs.

 

I have tried to register but not sure it has gone through.

 

Yup. I can vouch for that. My first trip, 3 out of the 4 in my raft popped out on the last drop, and cold does not even begin to describe it

 

I took my Girl Scout troop kayaking down that. They all did great, but I'm the one who almost fell out. Somehow, by the grace of God I stayed in but it was quite an experience.

 

I'm there.

 

My partner, JAG, and I will be there, now with the rug rat in tow.
