We have taken care of the important stuff: our reservation and no dogs. Any advice, points of interest in this section, a good place to find a cheeseburger in Fontana?Thanks!

There are two places to get a meal at Fontana Village - the resturant in the lodge or the caffe near-by. I imagine both serve cheeseburgers.

Don't pass the side trail to Shuckstack Fire Tower if it's a nice day. Heading SOBO, the unmarked 0.1 mile path heads left where the AT turns right before heading down the mountain to the Dam.

Look up mountain when you get to the dam road. You might see the bear who includes that area in her territory. Saw her with cubs when we were there two springs ago. Lucy at the gift shop told usit was her territory.

I hiked this section last October. Beautiful section with views and vistas. You should encounter many thru hikers which will make your trip interesting. I did not see a single bear! Have fun.
