NC Smoky Mountains

The Road To Nowhere!


"The Road To Nowhere", as most local residents call it, is a 6-mile scenic drive into the North Carolina side of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park where it dead-ends.  It provides spectacular views of Fontana Lake and the Appalachian Mountains   and was originally named "Lakeview Drive", but since the road was never completed (as the government promised) residents, who were forced to leave their homes in order for Fontana Dam to be built,  gave it the name of "The Road To Nowhere". This road was originally to be built to provide the many residents, who gave up their land for the Fontana Dam project, access to their ancestral gravesites.
