Welcome to Bryson City, NC!
Situated in the Smoky Mountains of western North Carolina, Bryson City is a small community defined by its mountain setting. Bordered on the north by Great Smoky Mountains National Park and on the south by Nantahala National Forest, the town and its surrounding area is home to a wealth of scenic vistas and outdoor recreational activities. The Deep Creek area boasts striking waterfalls, natural swimming holes and a stretch of water that is especially popular for summer tubing trips. The Nantahala Gorge's white water make it a destination for kayaking and—just west of Bryson City—Fontana Lake is an angler's and boater's paradise. In Bryson City itself, the train depot is of particularl interest as visitors can take scenic rail tours on the Great Smoky Mountains Railroad or, enjoy Music in the Mountains, a free summer concert series held from June through October at the depot. Even those who haven't set foot in Bryson City can enjoy it's mountain setting from afar—the area was used as the setting for the popular film, —The Fugitive—.Tourist Attractions
