Description

Rusting relic. The forest slowly reclaiming and covering over what was once the community of Proctor, North Carolina. Proctor was a lumbering town located in the Southwest corner of what is now Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The creation of Fontana Dam caused the town to be abandoned. With the lake flooded, the remnants of this now isolated and remote town were left to nature. Many reminders remain and it’s an amazing place to explore.
