From Looking Glass Rock to state parks and horseback riding to the Arts & Crafts Corridor, you’ll find more than you could imagine. Join us in Transylvania County to get more than you bargained for!
What’s there to do in Transylvania? Let us share just a few ideas. Countless people visit Transylvania County each year to admire the serene majesty of Looking Glass Rock. And the tranquil granite faces of Transylvania's mountains witness more excitement and adventure in a single day than most of us see in a lifetime, because they are irresistible to a rare breed of sports enthusiast: rock climbers. Equestrians return year after year to ride the beautiful trails and roads in Pisgah National Forest, Dupont State Forest and Gorges State Park. Many people don't know, however, that even novices can discover the joy and excitement of horseback riding in Transylvania. So whether you're revisiting your favorite trail or looking for a fun new family adventure, there's no better place to saddle up than Transylvania County.
Arts and crafts enrich lives in Transylvania County, providing income for local artists and offering works of art to the world. Painters, wood carvers, glass workers, basket weavers, quilt makers, metalsmiths and other crafters use both traditional and contemporary techniques to produce unique art. One of the best concentrations of crafters is the Scenic 276 South Arts & Crafts Corridor, which lies along U.S. 276 between Brevard and the South Carolina state line. Stop by to see the artists working in their studios and purchase beautiful pottery, glass and other arts and crafts.
But this is only the beginning. Words cannot describe the many types of “candy for the senses” found in this rich wonderland, so you are invited to experience it for yourself. We know that once you whet your appetite here, you’ll be back again and again!
