               lake is one of the great places here in the Great Smoky Mountains. Queens Creek Lake is right next door to Camp Gap which is unquestionably worth going to, and if you need a location to stay Sleep Inn Bryson City is a great choice.
This lake is so wonderful. Get soaked paddling on Nantahala River, and Brookside Campground and Rafting is a great local campground. You could also take a look at Leonard Phillips Lake if you're here at Queens Creek Lake; it's close by, and Rocky water Campground is a brilliant campground nearby. Not enough hours in a day to enjoy the Great Smoky Mountains. Hiking along the Wesser Creek Trail is great fun; Winding Stairs is an out of the ordinary location to stop at while at Queens Creek Lake.
This is no location for people who don’t like to have a good time. Some of the water nearby flows, like Appletree Branch, and a short visit to Queens Falls is always worthwhile. That right there is lots already, but it keeps on going; Queens Creek Lake has it all. Dry warm beds await you at Nantahala Cabins, and a lake nearby is Nantahala Lake.

MORE STUFF NEARBY:

Nantahala River
Be Aware! The Nanty is a bottom-release river - meaning that the water you're in has been sitting at the bottom of a lake for a while, totally unexposed to sunshine. The result: 50 degrees F, year-round. It may be 90 and sunny out, but it's a different story in the water - dress appropriately!...

Rufus Morgan Trail
10 miles away
Excellent hiking trail with good access and beautiful falls.  Rufus Morgan is a moderately hard short trail up to stunning 60' falls.  Beautiful forest surrounds the trail.  Be careful and tell someone you're going though... there's no on around for miles and if you get lost or hurt, you're on you're own. The waterfall is at the end of the trail and is easy to find. The road up to the trail is just a forest service road, but it is in great condition and there's a marked parking area (4 spots) with signage at the trailhead.
We went in early August and the trail is not overgrown and in great shape....

Cable Cove Campground
11 miles away
Great campground. Not too big (20 sites?), rarely full. Large tent pads, fire rings with grill tops, a separate charcoal grill, picnic tables, and sometimes 2 lantern posts are set on spacious lots set far off the road with most parking areas big enough to accomidate large RV's. Access to campground and boat ramp is paved the whole way. Water and a primative flush toilet provided. Camping close to the entrance may include noises from the pumphouse at night. Only a quarter mile from boat ramp on one of the most beautiful sections of Lake Fontana. Great canoe-camping. The interpretive trail is probably a little over a mile long. Extensive hiking, mountain biking, and kayaking close by. Closest store is at Fontana Village, about 8 mi. away, and if they're closed, I think that the closest beer is some 30 mi. away in Bryson City. Be farwarned. PLEASE BE COURTIOUS TO OTHERS AND LEAVE BARKING DOGS AT HOME!...

Turkey Creek Campground
11 miles away

Whistle Stop RV Park
19 miles away
Tent camping is not available. This site is RV park only. There are about 10 hookups at $20. 00 per night. Small, well-behaved pets are allowed; however, the sites are adjacent to a high traffic pedestrian area and if there are problems with unruly pets, owners will be asked to leave. There is no campfire area. There is a full grocery store very near the Whistle Stop and three restaurants on site. There is no pool or gameroom. The RV park is part of the Whistle Stop Mall which is home to North Carolina's largest Antique Mall as well as numerous other specialty shops, fitness center and business services. It's really a ''turn key'' location...
