Appalachian NiteLight™

PTAT is working hard to bring kiosks to the Appalachian Trail! Once completed, Appalachian Trail goers will be able to enjoy refreshments and snacks at our AT kiosks, which will be located every 3 miles along the trail.

A majority of the AT Kiosks will also include an outdoor patio and bar for patrons over 21. Please click here for current list of alcohol-serving kiosks >>

In certain jurisdictions, alcohol is prohibited and will not be served.

Kiosks will be open from 7am-2am, Monday-Saturday. Check with your local kiosk for hours on Sunday.

Dicks Creek Gap Restaurant

January 30th, 2007

If solitude or nature are your middle name, Dicks Creek Gap Restaurant is the only choice for a quality family meal. Beautifully constructed, Dicks Restaurant features a unique overhanging patio that allows you to enjoy the sounds of Dicks Creek Falls, located just 15′ across from your table.

Enjoy the constant trickling and dancing of Dicks Creek Falls. During summer months, water flow is controlled digitally from the kitchen, as our culinary chefs monitor the water spray from the falls.

Dicks Creek Gap Restaurant allows you to rehydrate and refresh yourself before continuing on your way on the paved Appalachian Trail. Reservations are encouraged, but not recommended. Please contact our friendly staff for reservations or more information regarding our daily specials and night entertainment.

Overnight hikers have access to our gravel parking lot, which makes a great sleeping pad for your tent! Enjoy our community fire ring (hours 8am-7pm) and free outdoor showers. Outdoor showers use the fresh and cold stream water from Dicks Creek, and the water is recycled directly back to the stream just down the mountain beyond the restaurant. Daily tours are available for our water reclamation facility. Check with our staff for daily departure times.
