Looking to leave car at or near Fontana Visitors center and then shuttle down to Deep Gap. Planning to do that section in 5-days.

Need recommendation for place to leave car and recommended shuttler (and estimated shuttle time).

I'm hoping there is someplace at Fontana visitors center or nearby (Fontana Village) would work.

Thanks again for any details and feedback.

I have left a car at the Fontana Dam Ranger/police office at the dam, asked and they pointed out a spot to park safely. Also have not had any problems at Deep Gap before.

No problems leaving car down by the dam...I parked mine across from the showers at the dam and left it there for over a week...no issues. Also call Jeff and Nancy at the Hike Inn in Fontana..828-479-3677..close to the Dam....they do shuttles...great section...have a great hike..cheers.
