However, nearby communities and surrounding lands are considered and used as context. ** Nantahala Mountains Geographic Area Updated: June 1, 2017 Description of area A land of large, rounded mountains and lush coves, the Nantahala Mountains Geographic Area contains one of the largest contiguous blocks of National Forest System lands on the Nantahala and Pisgah National Forests. The geographic area’s vast expanses provide a diverse range of forest uses for visitors and residents. The Nantahala Mountains provide tens of thousands of acres of remote forest areas for visitors and residents to use and explore. From high elevation heath balds like Wayah Bald and weathered rock outcrops to lowland cove and mesic oak/pine forests, the Nantahala Mountains offers a range of biological and scenic diversity special to the National Forests in North Carolina. The geographic area’s large block of contiguous ownership provides visitors with multiple access points for long-distance hiking, rock climbing, hunting, highly developed camping, group camping, horseback riding, and shooting sports at the Dirty John Shooting Range. Anglers enjoy the many creeks and river headwaters, as well as the high mountain Nantahala Lake whose waters flow into the Hiwassee, Nantahala, Little Tennessee, and Tallulah Rivers. These mountains are the setting for multiple Louis L’Amour novels of the famed Sackett family. Communities within this geographic area include Franklin, Andrews, Upper Peachtree, and Nantahala. These communities and others nearby rely on the 175,660 acres of forest land in the geographic area (326,835 acres total).
