The Legend Behind North Carolina's Most Haunted Road

At the southern end of North Carolina's Smoky Mountains, a paved two-lane byway winds 6 miles into the forested hills before stopping dead at the mouth of a dark, quarter-mile tunnel. This "Road to Nowhere" is Lakeview Drive, and not only has it stirred local controversy, but it's also fueled tales of ghosts and haints, phantom voices and footsteps from the residents of towns that were flooded when Fontana Lake filled in behind the dam. Although it's a scenic daytime drive that deserves a place on your to-do list, the road's isolation, history, and lore keep motorists away when night falls.

Veterans Day in the Smokies 2026: Free Park Day, Ceremonies and Military Discounts

Veterans Day falls on a Wednesday this year, Nov. 11, 2026. If you're a veteran, or you're traveling with one, the Smokies make a good place to spend it. You get a free day in the national park, a long-running ceremony in Gatlinburg and a handful of military discounts at attractions in Pigeon Forge , Gatlinburg and Sevierville . Here's what we could confirm for 2026, and where to double-check before you go. Free parking in the Smokies on Veterans Day Great Smoky Mountains National Park never charges an entrance fee, but you normally need a parking tag ($5 a day, $15 a week or $40 a year) to park anywhere in the park for more than 15 minutes. Nov. 11 is one of the Park Service's 2026 fee-free days, and the park says parking tags will not be required on those dates . Rangers still enforce the other parking rules, so don't park on the shoulder or in a no-parking zone. Popular trailheads still fill up early, even in November. Nov. 11 is the last fee-free day of 2026. On every other day, keep in mind that a Military Pass or any other America the Beautiful pass doesn't replace

Meanwhile, in Louisville, voters picked only one of three incumbents to keep. The information below reflects voting totals as of reporting Tuesday evening. There are around 100 or less provisional ballots that the Provisional Counting Board will review Monday which could impact the closest races. ALCOA Five seats were up for grabs in Alcoa on Tuesday: three on the Board of Commissioners and two on the Board of Education. Incumbents Tanya Martin and Josh Blair retained their seats with 1,441 and 1,325 votes each, but challenger Dyran Bledsoe unseated former commissioner Steve Biggar on commission, 1,483-1,125.
