During the summer months, it is only accessible by boat, unless you’re ok with walking through waist high water. There’s a significant slope with only a couple of small semi-level spots for tents. We were battling gravity at every turn lol
This was a great hike off the beaten path. Most people don't even know about this place. .. not even a big sign but a vacant parking area with a small wooden sign just down from parking area...leading into the woods... Colton creek.. look it up! When Fontana lake is gone, this is what you will find. Awesome!
Decent hike, found some red chanterelles while hiking in. Log jam at the end of the trail so fishing is limited. Saw a decent sized small mouth bass. Was hoping to do some trout fishing.
Where Noland Creek flows into Lake Fontana there are some beautiful swim holes and thousands of butterflies seem to congregate in this area.
Awesome place to primitive camp. Fire-pit and "chairs", flat spot to pitch tent, advanced pulley system to hang food/trash in trees to keep bears out of your camp.
