Pisgah National Forest

The Pisgah National Forest is a land of mile-high peaks, cascading waterfalls, and heavily forested slopes covering over 500,000 acres of mountainous terrain across Western North Carolina. Tremendous recreational opportunities are available within its boundaries including hiking and backpacking. The Mountains-to-Sea Trail, a long-distance recreational trail, travels through this district close to the Blue Ridge Parkway. www.fs.usda.gov/nfsnc

W. Kerr Scott Reservoir

An outdoor lover’s dream destination, W. Kerr Scott Reservoir is a beautiful man-made lake set in the foothills of Northwest North Carolina. Recreation areas ring the 55-mile shoreline of the lake. Popular activities include boating, fishing, hiking, mountain biking, camping and picnicking. Facilities at W. Kerr Scott include three campgrounds, four designated swimming areas, a marina, and a visitor center with a museum and bookstore. www.saw.usace.army.mil/wkscott/index.htm

Yadkin River

The Yadkin River is one of the longest rivers in North Carolina, flowing 215 miles from its headwaters near the Blue Ridge Parkway’s Thunder Hill Overlook. Several parts of the river are impounded by dams for water, power, and flood control. The Yadkin is extensively used for recreation. Fishing consists mostly of sunfish, catfish, largemouth bass and white bass in the spring and early summer. Canoeing and rafting are also popular. A portion of the river flows through Pilot Mountain State Park. www.yadkinriverkeeper.org/

Stone Mountain State Park

The mountain from which this park takes its name is not immediately visible upon entering the park, but the magnificent 600-foot granite dome is well worth the wait. Test your fly-fishing skills in the park’s more than 20 miles of designated trout waters, or hike one of the park’s 16 miles of trails. Designated as a National Natural Landmark in 1975, Stone Mountain is bounded on the north by the Blue Ridge Parkway and on the west by the Thurmond Chatham Game Lands. More than 14,100 acres of mountain beauty offer opportunities for outdoor activities of all kinds. www.ncparks.gov/Visit/parks/stmo/main.php

Blue Ridge Parkway

Spanning 469 miles along the crest of the Blue Ridge Mountains, the Parkway runs from the Shenandoah National Park in Virginia to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park in North Carolina. For nearly 100 miles, the Blue Ridge Parkway skirts the western boundary of the Yadkin Valley from Linville Falls, just west of Lenoir, to Cumberland Knob near the Virginia state line. www.blueridgeparkway.org/

Blue Ridge Parkway Thunder Hill Overlook

Pilot Mountain State Park

Dedicated as a National Natural Landmark in 1976, Pilot Mountain rises more than 1,400 feet above the rolling countryside of the upper Piedmont plateau and is the centerpiece of Pilot Mountain State Park. Treat yourself to a horseback ride through the woods or challenge the river from raft or canoe. A seven-mile woodland corridor joins two sections of the park, each section offering a wealth of opportunities for outdoor fun. The mountain segment, which includes the two pinnacles, contains most of the visitor facilities. The more primitive river section centers around the lazy, meandering Yadkin River. www.ncparks.gov/Visit/parks/pimo/main.php
