Relaxing Pursuits Top the List in Glenville

Although the surrounding Great Smoky Mountains and Nantahala National Forest offer countless recreational activities along their terrain, Lake Glenville is and always will be the centerpiece of excitement in Glenville.

Commonly referred to as the Thorpe Reservoir (this is how you will find it on maps), Lake Glenville boasts a surprising 26-mile shoreline and the water sports to match. While activities such as swimming, boating, fishing, and water skiing are always popular, be sure to sign up for a pontoon boat ride that leads past three of the cascading waterfalls that flow into the lake.

Since most Glenville vacation rentals rest directly along the waterfront, it might be difficult to pull yourself away from the lake’s crystal clear shores. However, the area around Lake Glenville is gradually becoming a golf mecca with clubs designed by Arnold Palmer, George Cobb, and Tom Fazio, meaning a few landlocked days will certainly yield some memorable experiences.

Whether you are searching for the course with the best views or the most dramatic features, there is bound to be one that takes your breath away. Although the amazing options are too numerous to list, a few that you might want to consider no matter where your accommodations lie include the Sapphire Mountain Golf Club and the High Hampton Inn and Country Club.
