It's a shame it was closed for the season, the ride to the Dam was beautiful and peacefully. Would have loved to see the Dam operating when we visited .

You can drive over the dam to the other side which they you are in National Park. Good trail over there. Great area to picnic under the trees. Back on the other side is a nice information center about the building of the dam and the area.

There is something satisfying about seeing grand civil engineering projects built more than half a century ago that are still serving their purpose well. Visiting this dam at dusk provided great photo ops and one is free to roam over the whole of the dam. I never did see any other people and rather enjoyed the isolated serenity of the place. Well worth a visit if you like really big industrial sorts of things. The dam is nearly five hundred feet high and impounds the beautiful Fontana Lake.There is a fairly elaborate visitor center and shop. These were closed when I visited so cannot say anything specific about them. Don't know if food items were offered for sale. I would assume toilets would be available inside.

There's so much to see in the area, however, there's nothing like the Fontana Dam anywhere else in the area. Don't just drive over the dam. Take the time to park and go into the building and learn about the history of the dam. Take a few minutes and walk across the dam and enjoy the great view. With the lake on one side and the dam on the other the view is special. While in the area, look around the resort and enjoy some of the wonderful activities that are available there as well.

Largest dam East of the Rockies constructed in only 36 months in 1942. It's a great attraction which you can walk or drive across. Stop at the visitor center for trail maps and ask about the old Appalachian cemetery you can walk to. The Appalachian trail picks up from a short walk on the other side of the dam. We intended to hike to the old fire tower on the Appalachian trail (this section is straddling the TN & NC border along the Smokey Mtns) but didn't allot enough time for the 3.2mi (one way) uphill hike so plan ahead if it's on your list. The view is supposed to be amazing.

Drove the kids over here after being on the Tail of the Dragon. They were happy to get out & walk around. Not so much for me since I'm afraid of heights! But seriously it was a beautiful view, great for pics and great history about the dam. Girls learned a lot and loved looking all about the dam. Parents too!

My wife and I drove up 28 all the way to the Dragon. The views of Fontana Lake are beautiful along the way. We stopped at the dam and saw that they have a beautiful pavilion picnic are for families right beside the dam with a nice view of the lake.

The area around the dam is beautiful and it is nice that you can stroll along the dam and enjoy the view. Nice place to take a break and stretch your legs.

The dam itself is in one of the most scenic places on earth. The visitors' center is beautiful and *very* nicely wheelchair accessible, plus they have interesting exhibits and well trained and informed docents. It is , however on a long road which is great if you want even more scenery, but not so much if you want to do other things. Plan to see Fontana Village or the Tail of the dragon same day.

Beautiful views of dam and Smokey Mountains. Also drove the Dragon's Tail...in our Tahoe! The lake was clear and serene! Wish we had taken a picnic!
