My wife and I operate RE/MAX Awenasa Realty Group. Bryson City, North Carolina is located near the Great Smoky National Park. The area offers the outdoor enthusiast their very own playground: kayaking, white water rafting on the raging Nantahala River, world class mountain biking on Tsali, hiking the Appalachian Trail, boating or fishing on the 10,000 acre Fontana Lake or camping.
