Lake Santeetlah

Description

View of Lake Santeetlah from the highway between Knoxville and Nantahala Gorge. Two of the Appalachian Trail work groups of the Smoky Mountains Hiking Club drive 10 miles along the shore of this lake to reach their sections of the AT. The photographer, Carlos C. Campbell (1892-1978), was a founding member of the Smoky Mountain Hiking Club (est. 1924) and a charter member of the Great Smoky Mountains Conservation Association (est. 1923). Campbell was an avid hiker and often assisted Jim Thompson with his camera equipment. When Campbell won a folding camera in 1935, he began his own photography journey, taking thousands of photographs and jotting down information about each one in small notebooks. His granddaughter, Rebecca Campbell Arrants, donated this collection of photographs and notebooks from 1934 - 1940 to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
