Tip: Be sure to order drinks quickly upon arrival when its busy.
After a morning on the water, I make my way toRib Countryfor lunch.
Its a family-owned joint with low and slow Lexington-style barbecue.

I order a can’t-go-wrong meal: a pulled pork sandwich and fries.
The beautiful weather calls for an afternoon atCrane Creek Vineyards, which is approximately 20 minutes from the lake.
As the afternoon stretches into evening, its time to pack up and drive back to Asheville.
