A hidden treasure of the Smoky Mountains only 1 mile from town. Wonderful hikes and waterfalls. You can also bike and swim there. In the summer, it's a hot spot for tubing.

Lots to take in on the Qualla Boundary. Visit the Cherokee Museum, The Qualla Arts and Crafts center across the road from the museum is a real look into the types things the Cherokee people make. Cherokee is also the gateway into the Smoky Mountains area that lends access to Clingman's Dome, New Found Gap, Mt LeConte and other points of interest. Don't forget to stop at the visitors center on your way in for information and to visit the home stead. You'll likely see some Elk there too!

This is a historic Cherokee Indian mound. It was a former settlement of the Cherokee and part of the mound that held their council house still remains. It's also a great place to walk and bike, especially if you have young children. Be aware of your surroundings because the Elk are very active in this area. Do not approach them!

Looking for a drive through the back country? This is a hidden GEM and not known to most unless you're a local... and with that said, many locals don't know it exist. Be prepared with AWD or 4WD, food, water and 3 hours of unspoiled wilderness. Do be surprised if you're the only ones out there. I recommend this for the more experienced adventurers.

A bucket list type of experience. Moderate to hard to extreme hiking with HIGH reward at the end. Not for beginners and most certainly requires fore-thought and planning. If you are into this kind of hiking, it will rank right up with some of the best you've done!

The Deep Creek Horse Trail is located in Deep Creek National Park, just minutes from downtown Bryson City. This trail is one of the designated trails for horse back riding in the park. It links up with many other trails along the way. One of real interest is Longsome Pine trail and Overlook. It's about 3 miles up the horse trail and has sweeping views of the Smokies and Bryson City area. Locals hike up here to watch the fireworks! But don't expect to see a lot of people on this trail in Deep Creek as It is a lesser traveled path.
