Getting Outdoors
The rugged 76-miles of shoreline are perfect for exploring by boat, with many inlets, coves, and creeks to delve into. Because of the mountainous nature of the landscape, the lake is a scattered collection of creeks rather than one large mass of water, and you could easily spend an entire day here and not see another soul. Pontoon boats, ski boats, and kayaks can all be rented at the Santeetlah Marina, located on a small peninsula with the town of Lake Santeetlah.
Camping at Lake Santeetlah
RV camping at Lake Santeetlah is available in the Cheoah Point Recreation Area, just a mile north of the town of Lake Santeetlah, at the north end of the lake. There are some RV campsites with electrical hook-up, but the majority are primitive sites. Flushing toilets, hot showers, and drinking water are available, but no other facilities.
Exploring the Area
For an interesting scenic drive, try out the Cherohala Skyway that starts just west of Robbinsville and follows a 44-mile route to Tellico Plains in Tennessee. The road is graded as difficult because of the steep climbs and tight bends, but it is driveable in a rental RV with care. It would be advisable to take local advice as to whether your RV can make the trip. You’ll be rewarded with spectacular views all the way, and the visitor center in Tellico Plains is worth visiting for information.
