We do not live — you do not visit — a dot on a map. We are not shaped by imaginary lines — we are shaped by place.
This place, Cheoah — the birthplace of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians, is defined by a living culture and history that we all walk through together. The ground we till, the roads we drive, the trails we hike, the giant trees we stand beneath, the waterfalls we stand in awe of, even this particular window into the night sky form our daily experience.
To those that live here every day as well as to those fortunate enough that this place remains for you to visit and enjoy — take the time to look and learn and then allow that knowledge to change how you walk, live and visit in this place.
We encourage everyone as you are walking the greenway around the high school to take a moment by the cane patch to see this generational event. Stop and read the interpretive signage along the path — and teach your children.

After 10 years of writing about epic motorcycle rides — two Graham County rides make Blue Ridge Motorcycling Magazine editor, Michael E. Gouge’s Top Ten Blueridge Advebtures list.
📍Moonshiner 28 from South Carolina to the Tail of the Dragon:
“This famous route known for its terminus at the Tail of the Dragon holds more scenic wonders and wonderful twists on the lesser-known southern portion. Starting in Walhalla, South Carolina, the road climbs the Blue Ridge Escarpment passing the not-be-missed Stumphouse Tunnel and Issaqueena Falls. Scenic stops on Moonshiner 28 include Highlands, Franklin and Fontana Dam. N.C. 28 ends at Deals Gap Motorcycle Resort on U.S. 129…“
📍Cherohala Skyway to Lookout Mountain:
“The Cherohala attracts thousands of riders each year for the stunning scenery, peaceful mountain curves and remote beauty. At its western terminus in Tellico Plains, Tennessee, long-distance riders may want to head east to find U.S. 11.…”
