Bryson City is a charming small town that truly has it all. Nestled in the beautiful Smoky mountains, the walkable downtown area is sprinkled with quaint shops and restaurants. It is also home to the Great Smoky Mountains Railroad, which hosts different events and themed rides throughout the year. There is also a farmer's market, a small aquarium, and a fly fishing museum. There are three breweries in town, and a winery just a few miles from there. And for those who enjoy the nightlife, Harrah's Cherokee casino is located in the neighboring town of Cherokee.
Outdoor activities are endless in Bryson city. Where do I start? Surrounded by lakes, rivers, creeks and mountain trails, the possibilities of how you can spend your outdoor time are practically limitless. You can choose from hiking, biking, ATVing, fishing, boating, kayaking, canoeing, tubing, white water rafting, swimming, horseback riding, zip lining, elk viewing, golfing, skiing and snow tubing. Also, the Road to Nowhere is worth a visit (especially at night if you're very brave), and the Blue Ridge Parkway is one of the most famous scenic drives in the US.
