Fontana Lake is a large, meandering body of water in western North Carolina that offers miles of unique and undeveloped shoreline for exploration. The narrow channels and protected bays are an ideal setting for paddlers in search of secluded and protected waters. The lake has over 240 miles of shoreline with multiple launch areas and campsites located at different points around the lake. This paddling trip starts from the Lemmon Branch launch which is a developed ramp with parking and a restroom located in the southeast section of the lake.
