Tapoco Lodge Historic District, Historic lodge and resort complex in Graham County, North Carolina, United States.

Tapoco Lodge is a 2-1/2 story Colonial Revival main lodge built in 1930, with guest cabins added over the following decade. The complex also holds a theater, guard house and utility buildings from around 1950, plus gazebos and tennis courts from the late 1990s. It stands in Robbinsville, Graham County, North Carolina.

Tapoco, formerly the Tallassee Power Company, developed the lodge in the 1930s to house employees working on its hydroelectric projects in the area. The main lodge, a 2-1/2 story Colonial Revival structure, was built in 1930, and guest cabins were added gradually over the next decade. Around 1950 a theater, guard house and other utility buildings joined the complex, and gazebos and tennis courts followed in the late 1990s. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.

The theater at Tapoco Lodge was added around 1950, not during World War II, together with a guard house and other utility buildings. It is one of the later structures in a complex whose main lodge dates to 1930 and whose guest cabins were built over the following decade. Gazebos and tennis courts followed in the late 1990s.

The property offers nine rooms in the main building and eighteen cabins to choose from, plus two on-site dining options including Tapoco Tavern. Hiking trails and water activities are readily accessible from the grounds and nearby forest areas.

The property sits just minutes from The Tail of the Dragon, a famous twisting road with 318 curves across 11 miles of mountain terrain. This nearby route draws motorcycle and car enthusiasts looking for challenging driving roads.
