Joe's Take: Lake Nantahala, Aquone, NC



I love Lake Nantahala. The water is cool but not too cold. It has a rocky bottom and if it's at least 6 feet deep it is safe to dive. It's worth the 5 minute drive over there, though you're not allowed to be on the dock when the boats are around. Lake Nantahala was a small town called Aquone. Duke power company dammed up the river and filled the valley with water. The lake is at 3,100 feet above sea level. It is always nice and cool, NOT like Florida which is very hot.
