Try contacting Dave at 828-349-5203. He drove us up to Deep Gap in late May. I know he goes as far north as NOC, and I wouldn't be surprised if he shuttled to Fontana Dam.

The folks at The Hike Inn have a great reputation and also provide shuttle service and might be a good option at the beginning and/or end of your hike.

I'm trying to arrange transportation from Deep Gap Wednesday morning to Wayah Bald and haven't been having any luck. I called the number at Budget Inn of Franklin and the woman there told me they couldn't do it. She gave me a number to a woman who hasn't returned my calls, and when I try calling Dave's number I get a constant fast busy signal. Any other options for shuttle services up there????

I have used the Hike Inn. Jeff and Nancy will shuttle you. They are great folks.

Call me at Budget Inn and if you don't get someone else, I will personally shuttle you. I am always at Budget Inn at 9 am

I'll shuttle you if you come up empty on other options. My meter starts at running at Hiawassee and continues until I get home. Do a mapquest for the route I will drive, starting and ending in Hiawassee. Work the time in @ $20/hr and you can see the rate.
