Our Spring Extravaganza is planned for the weekend of May 14-16, 2010. The canoeing and kayaking portion of this event will take place on various rivers in the Nantahala area, the camping portion of this event will be at Smokey Mountain Meadows Campground.

The campground officially opens on May 1, 2010 and the phone number after that time will be 1 (828) 488-3672. If you would like to contact the campground earlier than May 1st to make your reservation please call 1 (864) 420-8077 and speak with Elaine. They offer tent sites with no water or electricity, sites with water and electric only, and full hook up RV sites. Be sure to specify that you are with the GCA when you make your reservation.

We have reserved the pavilion for use on Saturday night so that we can have a group dinner. The pavilion has a roof and picnic tables so that we can gather and eat even if it happens to rain on us. This campground has very nice bath houses for those of you who are interested in such things!

We hope to be able to offer canoe and kayaking trips on the Tuckaseegee and the Nanty and possibly other rivers as well depending on water levels. I need volunteers to lead the aforementioned Tuck/Nanty trips so if you would be willing to lead a trip on one of these rivers either Saturday or Sunday, please contact me (Lisa Haskell) at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
