     Whohoo, so much exciting stuff in one place! The Great Smoky Mountains is unbeatable! Tellico Plains Koa is a great local campground, and why not take a refreshing hike along the Unicoi Trail. The scenery at Apalachia Dam near Apalachia Lake is pretty, naturally you could also visit Unicoi Lake if you're here; it's not far at all. All the water falling down from the sky makes Apalachia Lake a wet place; through the month of March you get the most rain around here;  
   the driest month is October.
You just can't imagine the amount of outdoors exciting stuff the Great Smoky Mountains has to offer. Why not camp at Coker Creek Village if you're here at Apalachia Lake; if you need a site to stay Days Inn/ Blue Ridge is a good choice. Adams Branch is a beautiful stream that is worth a visit, and get your heart beating on the splendid whitewater of Hiwassee River. Not enough hours in a day to enjoy this spot. Apalachia Lake
 
               is right by the Doc Rogers Trail, and there's whitewater on Turtletown Creek for all you thrill seekers.
This lake is so wonderful. A great nearby hotel is Comfort Inn & Suites Blue Ridge. Summer brings highs in the 80's to Apalachia Lake while overnight lows are usually in the 60's. All through the wintertime this place gets highs in the 40's, and overnight lows in the 20's for Apalachia Lake. Apalachia Lake is one of the lakes here in the Great Smoky Mountains.
This lake is so wonderful. A lake close by is Smoky Mountain Christian Camp Lake, and hiking along the Unicoi Mountain Trail is tremendous fun.

John Muir National Recreation Trail
I have not hiked this trail since at least 2005.  However, what I remember is that it is a beautiful trail from Reliance (HWY 315) to Appalachia Powerhouse along the broad, rapid, and glorious Hiwassee River.  However, upstream from the powerhouse, there is almost no river and my last time on that part of the trail (October, 2002) I remember lots of mosquitos and a poorly maintained trail.  I only followed it a mile or two upstream from the powerhouse because there was no river and my goal had been to hike along the beautiful Hiwassee River.  I mistakenly thought the river came out of Appalachia Dam and the trail would follow it the entire way.  However, because the river is not released until Appalachia Powerhouse, hikers need to know that the only section of this that actually follows a big broad river are the five or six miles between Appalachia Powerhouse and Highway 315.  However, those few miles are just beautiful for anyone who likes flat hiking along a giant mountain river!...
