Elk are frequently seen in the Kituwah Valley area (~2 miles from the house) and have been seen on the property occasionally (see last picture). Ocona Lake Estates is located along the Oconaluftee River and the river can be easily accessed at the community's picnic/BBQ facility. This river is noted for its large trout but does require a special license to fish. You can walk to the river from the house. You can do tube float trips down this fairly quiet section of the river as well as swim from the community facility on the river. We are also only minutes away from the Tuckaseegee River which offer excellent fishing and white-water rafting. The communities quiet and seldom used roads provide great opportunities for walking/hiking. Excellent walking and jogging opportunities are also available at the Kituwah valley farm which is open to the public.

The nearly endless local attractions include the popular Polar Express and Great Smoky Mountains Railroad, Oconaluftee Indian Village, Unto These Hills Cherokee Theatre, Museum of the Cherokee Indian, Santa’s Land Fun Park and Zoo, Deep Creek, Darnell Farms, Harrah’s Casino (in Cherokee), Nantahala River, Tuckaseegee River, the Mountain Farm Museum, local breweries and wineries, several different gold/ruby mines, endless hiking, skiing/snowboarding, fishing, whitewater rafting, golfing, and mountain biking.
