Fontana's northern shore is Great Smoky Mountains National Park's southern boundary, so there is no way to get there except by foot or boat. This may be attractive. Also, there are very few marinas for a lake of this size, so the power boat traffic is comparatively low. Two lakes downstream is Calderwood Reservoir. 200-300 yards wide and eight miles long. Nice daytrip, and the most boats I've ever seen on it is 5, counting mine. Put-in is in the day use area on the Tennessee side below the bridge below the dam, kinda hard to find. Camping is no good, as the shore is basically vertical :( Also, the water comes from the bottom of Cheoah Dam, so it's cold, even in July. If the water is low, look for the sea caves on river right.
