take my kayak to Cherokee / Maggie Valley NC ?

Thanks for reading this. We are going from the East Coast of NC to the West of NC for about a week soon, specifically Cherokee NC and thereabouts. I like to kayak fish and usually take my kayak ...

Cheoah River out of Robbinsville has kayakers but they have areas of Class V.

Calderwood Lake just below the Cheoah dam has kayaking and canoeing. Beautiful and calm.

You can put in at Rymer's Ferry or Cable Cove for Fontana Lake. There's also RV camping at Fontana Village: the area has water and electric and is booked through the Village.

Nantahala Lake is also a gooder. http://www.westernncattractions.com/nantahala-lake/
