Wanting to do this trip to GSMNP campsite #86 by canoe and kayak. It looks like we can release at Cable Creek USFS and then cross Fontana Lake and head up Hazel Creek to camp site #86. Has anyone done this? Anything I should know? Lake Levels at this time of the year, are they a problem? Can we dump the canoes/kayaks once we get across Fontana and hike up to #86 if needed?
Thanks for any help
