Our camp at Eagle Creek, Site #90, in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. That's my Hennessey Hammock hanging above my Dagger Apostle yak. The Hennessey is one of the best camping investments that I've made - it's like having air conditioning when the nights are hot and muggy.

Eagle Creek, on the North Shore of Fontana Lake, has long been one of my favorite kayaking destinations. I usually put in at Cable Cove, a landing on the South Shore, just off of Hwy. 28.

Good friends, good times!
I will be adding more pages to this series as time permits - we have a ton of stuff to go in from Eagle Creek and Hazel Creek.
