Best Family Restaurants in Bryson City

"Joey’s Pancake House has a massive fanbase, with hungry travelers driving into Maggie Valley from states away just to get a taste of their signature country ham or melt-in-your-mouth pancakes and waffles."

"From the breakfast plates to the omelets to the shrimp and grits, there’s full country flavor packed into every bite. The food is spectacular, but the restaurant’s favorite feature, according to most who’ve stopped by?"

"Available by reservation only, horseback riding at Cataloochee Ranch in Maggie Valley, NC, promises to be an incredible adventure. Offering full- or half-day group rides or private rides through the beautiful Smoky Mountains, Cataloochee offers hospitality a mile high!"

"Hikers will reach Indian Creek Falls via the Deep Creek Trail, which was one of the first trails constructed by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the early 1930s. In addition to visiting the 45-foot waterfall, hikers will also pass by the 80-foot Toms Branch Falls along the way. This is another great hike for early spring wildflowers."

"If you’d prefer to see a waterfall without even getting out of your car, Meigs Falls is a great choice. You can stay in the comfort of your vehicle and pull off the road to enjoy the falls, which are located roughly 500 feet away and can be seen through the trees. During the late fall and winter, when all the leaves are gone, the falls become even more visible, making the view even more dramatic."
