The Lakeshore Trail traces the north shore of Fontana Lake for 33 miles, with forest paths, lake views, and access to backcountry campsites. It share paths with the Benton MacKaye Trail and it’s a quiet alternative to the busier Appalachian Trail nearby, with plenty of chances to spot wildlife and enjoy the water’s edge.
