The Nantahala National Forest (/ˌnæntəˈheɪlə/), is the largest of the four national forests in North Carolina, lying in the mountains and valleys of western North Carolina. The Nantahala is the second wettest region in the country, after the Pacific Northwest. Due to its environmental importance and historical ties with the Cherokee, the forest was officially established on January 29, 1920 by President Woodrow Wilson. The word "Nantahala" is a Cherokee derived, meaning "Land of the Noonday Sun." In some spots, the sun reaches the floors of the deep gorges of the forest only when it is high overhead at midday. This was part of the homeland of the historic Cherokee and their indigenous ancestors, who have occupied the region for thousands of years.

  • La forêt nationale de Nantahala est une forêt nationale classée en 1920 et située dans l'État de Caroline du Nord.« Nantahala » est un mot des indiens Cherokee signifiant « La terre du soleil de midi. » Le nom est approprié puisque, dans certains endroits, le soleil n'atteint le sol des profondes gorges de la forêt nationale que lorsque le soleil est à son apogée. Le Conquistador espagnol Hernando de Soto explora l'endroit en 1540, ainsi que William Bartram au XVIIIe siècle. (fr)
