About the Location
Thousands upon thousands of motorcyclists frequent the Smoky Mountain region for not only the endless curvy miles but for more specifically the famous stretch of 318 turns in 11 miles of Deals Gap often called "The Dragon." The popular segment of pavement stretches across the North Carolina and Tennessee boarder of US Highway 129 south of Knoxville, Tennessee. With great roads, motorcycle friendly atmosphere and beautiful scenery everywhere you go, what more could a sportbike rider ask for?
Fontana may boast modern amenities such as high-speed wireless internet and a cool new pool with a lazy river, but everything remains true to the beauty and country feel of the Smoky Mountains, which is why we continue to return. Located merely ten curvy miles south of "The Dragon", Fontana Village is the perfect get-away for beautiful roads to ride in either direction coupled with many attributes to bring you back to reality should you need it.
