I'd recommend a drive to the lodge and grabbing a meal at their restaurant overlooking the Cheoah River. Stop at Wehrloom Honey on the way! If the Cheoah is running, you'll love watching the kayakers and rafters on this beautiful river. This river is for the very experienced only. Oh... be prepared to watch the sports car enthusiasts and bikers flock to Tail of the Dragon.

Great local honey and mead. Also a great gift shop. Robbinsville is a cool little town as well. It's very near Tail of the Dragon and Tapoco Lodge. I'd recommend a visit to Wehrloom Honey on your way to Tapoco Lodge for a meal.
