One third of Transylvania
County is dedicated to State or
National Forest. And with the
lion's share of that protected
land up this way, you are never
far from a trail head or a trout stream.
The natural end of the County… located halfway
between Brevard and Cashiers... offers less density, with plenty of
outdoor adventures,
restaurants, shops
and lodging.

Turtleback Falls
Toxaway Falls
Rainbow Falls
Hikes are fun, but a hike with a
payoff is an event. We have hundreds of waterfalls to explore. Each
of them is a perfect wonder of
nature; but, the jewel in our crown
is the magnificent Whitewater Falls, the highest in the
Eastern United States.
Trek some of our hundreds of miles of marked and
maintained hiking trails with a seasoned guide, or grab
a trail book and set off on your own. Since
2007, Gorges State Park has been
undergoing a multimillion dollar
renovation. Panthertown
Valley is a must see for anyone craving the ultimate
outdoor experience.
And if wheels are your
thing, the Blue Ridge
Parkway offers a
drive through a North
Carolina mountain
landscape, complete
with breathtaking
mountain vistas, that
hasn’t changed in
hundreds of years.
