Fontana Damn

Hello friends,

Does anyone have current information on mailing packages to Fontana Dam. I can't find information regarding post office hours or if the resort/village accepts hiker packages. Would appreciate any information.






Cheers

I used google and came up with this..

i would call them to make sure though....

Thanks, I thought I has seen that page a few months ago. It looks like they only hold packages for guests only. I'll send them an email/call.

Call them to make sure, but I believe that the resort includes an actual post office facility. It is located in the same building as the store, outfitter, Ice Cream Parlor, Laundry, etc. The Inn is located in a separate building near-by. My point is that I'm almost positive that anyone can have their package held there, not just guests.

There was indeed a post office there. Check on USPS.com to see if it is still extant. However, the hours were very limited so check those too.

There is a po but it closes very early.

By putting Fontana Dam, NC in the search box on www.usps.gov I got that the post office is only open 11:45 am to 3:45 pm Monday through Friday. Closed Saturday.

That sounds about right. I believe the hike inn Will accept packages but don't quote me on that.

Just got off the phone with Fontana Village Resort. They accept packages at 300 wood rd, fontana dam, nc 28733

The Village INN does accept mail drops even if you don't plan to stay, you can find all the info on the maildrop page here on WB

hehehe my wife is still trying to live down the fact that she sent a drop to the PO instead of the store in '11. Thanks for the reminder and letting me forward the link to this thread! My little Trail Angel.......
