Attractions

Horseback riding – Arrowmont Stables- 828-743-2762
Located one half mile up the mountain from our home.

Fishing
Lakes and Streams throughout the area.

Hiking and Water Falls
Some 19 falls in the area and hiking trails are well marked.  My personal favorite is Whitewater Falls, only 13 miles from Cashiers. It is higher than Niagara Falls and the highest falls in eastern U.S.  Hiking trails are available but hiking is not necessary to view the falls.

• Cashiers Sliding Rock Falls – Natures waterslide is perfect for children. 

Sight Seeing
The Blue Ridge Parkway has some of the most beautiful mountain views in the entire country.  The parkway is a well maintained 2 lane highway with frequent overlooks and points of interest.  The nearest entry is in Sylva, NC, just on the other side of our mountain.  I suggest traveling west towards Cherokee for a great days outing, stopping for lunch and shopping in Cherokee.  The Cherokee Indian Reservation and Casino are popular attractions.

Rafting
Call 800-232-7238 for the nearest river and river conditions to match your experience. River trips range from gentle self floating to guided tours in challenging water.
