Fontana Dam NC was officially designated an Appalachian Trail Community on March 26, 2015 during a ceremony at Fontana Dam . Franklin and Hot Springs are the other NC towns recognized by the program.
The Appalachian Trail Community program was created by the Appalachian Trail Conservancy to recognize communities that promote and care for the Appalachian Trail (A.T.). Working with a growing network of trailside community partners, the program supports communities that play a role in advocating the A.T. as a significant local and national asset and as an international icon. The program assists communities by generating awareness and stimulating outdoor recreation while preserving and protecting the A.T.
