Cherokee
The Cherokee Indians were the first to be charmed by the natural beauty of the mountains, fresh flowing streams and rivers, and clear blue sky in what they called “Land of the Blue Smoke”, or Smoky Mountains as we know them today.
Now it’s your turn to be charmed.
Encircled by majestic mountains, Cherokee North Carolina is a FishingSmoky Mountain vacation destination with plenty of fun activities - museums, amusement parks, casino, hiking trails, scenic drives, great shopping, a wealth of lodging choices, and some great money-saving vacation packages.
And there are plenty of ways to relax, too. Sit by a waterfall or a swift-flowing stream, picnic under a lush canopy of trees, stroll along a river path …it’s all waiting here for you. |
