Forney Creek
The Nolan Creek Region is located in the south-central area of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and is an access point for hiking trails and backcountry campsites. You can also reach portions of Fontana Lake from here, though on hiking trails only. The area is accessed by Lakeview Drive, a paved road starting near Bryson City, North Carolina.
