The trail

Lake Santeetlah, part of the Tennessee River watershed, was created in 1928 when Alcoa dammed the Cheoah River as a means of generating hydroelectric power in Graham County, North Carolina. The name "Santeelah" is derived from a Native American word which means "blue waters." The reservoir is largely surrounded by the Cheoah District of the Nantahala National Forest.
