About the Lakeshore Trail Trailhead
The Lakeshore Trail Trailhead is located in Bryson City, North Carolina, United States. This park offers hikers the opportunity to explore the beautiful Smoky Mountains throughout the year, with each season offering its own unique rewards. Visitors can expect to see waterfalls, old-growth forests, wildflowers, and stunning views along the various trails in the park.
Hikers should be cautious when venturing into the backcountry, as trail conditions can be unpredictable due to natural forces such as swollen streams, downed trees, and trail erosion. It is important to be prepared for these challenges, especially between December and May when trail maintenance may be limited.
When planning a hike, visitors should consider what they would like to see and how far they are willing to hike. Novices should start with shorter distances, while experienced hikers can explore longer trails. Reservations and permits are required for all overnight stays in the park's backcountry.
For safety, hikers are advised to download a trail map or purchase one from Smokies Life, which also offers a variety of hiking books and guides. The Backcountry Information Office can provide valuable tips and information to help plan a safe and enjoyable hiking or backpacking trip.
Visitors are encouraged to participate in the Hike the Smokies and Hike the Smokies for Families programs, which offer rewards for completing hikes in the park. It is important to be aware of parking lot thieves who target cars parked at trailheads, so valuables should be kept secure or left at home.
Bear pepper spray is recommended for protection against aggressive wildlife in the park, but should only be used for this purpose. Hiking Trails of the Smokies and Day Hikes of the Smokies are valuable resources for exploring the park's trails and planning hikes.
Overall, the Lakeshore Trail Trailhead offers a unique opportunity to experience the beauty of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and should be enjoyed with caution and preparedness.
Reviews of Lakeshore Trail Trailhead
"A little piece of Heaven on earth!!"
"Completed the 35-40mi trail in two nights, from tunnel to dam. There are alot of downed trees (8-10-23), and trail needs some maintenance. Beautiful trail, along Fontana Lake. Great camping spots and swimming."
"The hike starts through the tunnel to nowhere and you can combine it with the Goldmine Trail to get about 5.5 miles. The trail is wide not alot of rocks not any extreme inclines or descents. Good family hike."
"Beautiful drive to get there. Easy walk, and our dogs loved it! Really nice and cool on a hot day. Some of the graffiti was pretty cool. Can't wait to come back when we have more time and do more hiking on the trails."
"Cool tunnel to check out with lots of graphite. The tunnel has a parking lot near it. You may want to bring a flash light if you want to go through the tunnel. There's some cool hiking trails here too as well as a lookout point by the road."
