What’s there to do in Cherokee NC?
Going camping there in September and looking for things to do. We don’t gamble so the casino is out but what is there to do in that area?

wife and I were there but that was 40 + years ago so I am sure it has changed a lot and would not even be close to what we saw , maybe do a internet search
I also think some one living close by will chime in on some ideas as being local
have fun on your trip

Casino, food, tourist trap,fishing, hiking, rafting, looking at elk. That is it.
Drive a bit to Asheville, Biltmore estates.

One of my favorite areas . Take time to go to Maggie Valley to the Wheels of Time motorcycle museum .The cherokees have an outdoor drama detailing the Trail of Tears and a recreation Indian village . You are within easy driving distance of Cade's Cove In tenn . If you have any interest in history it is a must see . The problem is too much to see and do instead of too little . Biltmore house in Asheville is a whole mother thing .And there is always driving the blue ridge parkway

Parkway & a drive thru Robinsville & across the Cherahala Hwy. Stay away from Ashville & tail of the dragon.

Pulsarnc pretty much nailed it.
(And) as Don said, "They have Camping." 😂
*I'd be looking for some little BBQ Joints as well. My experience, the smaller and more Shack like, the better.

Easy drive into the Great Smokey Mountains Natl. Park. Been some time since I was there, but there was a LOT of fishing, restaurants with froglegs, and plenty of tourist shop ops.

If you really want to see the mountains in a different way take a trail ride on horseback . Smoke mount stables are very close to Cherokee. There is also rafting in the creeks and streams and fishing for trout .Dollywood in Pigeon Forge is a reasonable drive . If you do go don't miss Smokey Mountain Knife works

Thanks for all the ideas. We are staying in the KOA in our camper. I like to fish.

That poor horse would take a look at me and die of a heart attack

Pulsarnc mentiond Dollywood (in Pigeon Forge) I was going to but thought better of it. Can be a good time, (but) they are there to seperate you from your $$.
Last time I was there with my Son about 4 years ago, (on my Co.) I commented "If this Country ever gets in deep **** again, we are Screwed," Based on all the Morbidly Obese folks and their kids we were seeing.
Some good rides though. (Tennessee Twister, Eagles something etc.)

They have some good rafting I believe that is where I was around. Not dramatic class 5 but a lot of fun. Ran into some very nice BBQs NC style. The women got wet while rafting was a nice sight to see if you get my wave.
Harrahs was an awesome place to eat at the time and the scenery around that was excellent. Course it's been 10 years ago.

Well if you get bored don't be cutting the tops off parking meters with a pipe cutter. If I learned anything from Cool Hand Luke it is that.

About 15 years ago I saw an 18 pound brown trout caught out of the river in Cherokee.They have their own hatchery and when the brooders get old they stock them in the river.

That would be nice to hook into one that big. It would definitely be a wall hanger as I don’t think one that big would taste very good.
