[View of Bald River Falls in Cherokee National Forests](http://www.fs.usda.gov/Internet/FSE_MEDIA/stelprdb5274065.jpg) This area provides outstanding opportunities for fishing, camping, hiking, and scenic driving. It is also home to the popular Indian Boundary Recreation Area and the Cherohala Skyway. Nearly 30,000 acres of remote backcountry surround three rivers and their tributaries, where fishing for brown, rainbow and brook trout is excellent. Cherohala Skyway (TN 165/NC143), a 43-mile National Scenic Byway, winds between Tellico Plains, Tenn. and Robbinsville, N.C. Tellico River Road (FR 210) offers intimate views of the river and 90-foot Bald River Falls. Spend the night at the historic Donley Cabin and check out CCC structures at Tellico Ranger Station and Dam Creek Picnic Area. Hike across the area on the Benton MacKaye Trail. Camp at sites along Tellico River or in Indian Boundary Recreation Area just off Cherohala Skyway. Tellico River Area Map Tellico River Area Guide
Great place to camp, hike, kayaking, mountain biking, and more. I love it here. Just which there was attraction in the town.
Google Maps has begun displaying the Tellico River as The Little Tennessee far above its confluence with that river. The Tellico River extends from its headwaters to its confluence with the Little Tennessee at the City of Vonore.
We love this river. Great for learning and expanding skills in a kayak. If really busy times the take out can be kinda hard to find parking. But we usually shuddle and follow them as they kayak the river for footage purposes. Great areas to park Goin up or down to watch the main rapids and to root on your buddies. If really busy people can be rude if your trying to watch the kayakers.
