Operations Updates

NOC Operations Update

To Our NOC Community,

 

As you know, Asheville and some of our remote river communities have been impacted by Hurricane Helene. We are busy aiding in the help with supplies and fundraising. Fortunately, all of our staff are all safe. 
At this point in time, it is small local and regional businesses that need your support, whether it be visiting responsibly, booking a stay or adventure, or shopping online or in stores. These small mountain towns, staff and guides need work and to stay afloat, and that’s where you come in!

Bryson City and the Nantahala River Gorge are intact and fully operational, and our Nantahala Fully Guided Trips, Rentals, Zip Lines, Aerials, NOC’s Outfitter’s Store, Lodging, and the Rivers End Restaurant are open for business as well as downtown Bryson, the Smoky Mountain Railroads and others. Please consider visiting if you can travel here responsibly.

NOC Gatlinburg and downtown are all open as well as the entrance to the Great Smokies National Park. These small businesses also benefit from your patronage as they continue to operate and help with aid from afar.
If you plan to travel, see the latest road conditions at Drivenc.gov.

10/23/24 Update – 

We do have some adventures and stores open and are ready to welcome you.
