SUP on Lake Fontana and Enjoy Beautiful Wildlife Along the Water

Details

For this excursion, we will paddle a quiet section of Lake Fontana. I love this area of the lake because there are few boats and I always see many different kinds of wildlife. There are bathrooms at the boat launch. The drive is 1 hour and 15 minutes from Asheville. Feel free to use the comments to arrange carpooling. I am hoping the GPS is linked correctly in this post, however, you might prefer to use this address in your GPS, just to be safe. 1942-2450 Old Nc 288, Bryson City, NC 28713.

It is a good idea to bring a PFD (life vest), water and food. If you need to rent a board, Wai Mauna and French Broad Outfitters have daily rentals. We will meet at the put in at 12:00 and shove off by 12:30. We will paddle for about and hour or so into the lake and then turn around and come back to the boat ramp.

There are some nice restaurants and breweries in Bryson City. We might choose to have a meal together after paddling.
