Charit Creek Lodge LeConte Lodge

Both of these wilderness retreats are located deep in protected national lands. LeConte Lodge can only be reached by hiking: Charit Creek Lodge can be reached by hiking or horseback. When you arrive at either lodge, you'll find comfortable accommodations and a hearty meal.

Charit Creek Lodge, located in Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area, is situated in a valley at the junction of two streams, Charit Creek and Station Camp Creek. Well-maintained hiking and horse trails lead you along interesting and beautiful forests and streams on your way to the lodge. Great for groups, families and kids . . . an easier hike than LeConte but still adventurous.

LeConte Lodge, located in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, is on top of Mt. LeConte, which is 6,593 feet high. Any of the five trails to the top offer spectacular vistas, delicate flora, and bountiful wildlife.

LeConte Lodge is accessible only by trail. Reservations are required and can be made by calling 865-429-5704.
