Mountain Sports

The Blue Ridge Mountain region is a paradise for outdoor adventures of every kind all year round. Thousands of miles of trails are ideal for hiking, mountain biking, and horseback riding. Rock climbing and bouldering sites beckon thrill seekers as do rivers and streams offering world-class whitewater for paddlers. These high-adrenaline activities are complemented by tranquil streams for fly fishing.

Natural Beauty

A number of breathtakingly beautiful natural sites attract those who want to simply bask in the serenity of a classic American landscape. Nearby favorites include Max Patch, an iconic bald mountain summit featuring 360° views over the Pisgah National Forest and Chimney Rock State Park, where dramatic scenery includes native wildlife and one of North Carolina’s highest waterfalls.

Golfing

Just minutes from Hendersonville, Champion Hills features a top-ranked Tom Fazio-designed golf course. Unique and brilliant, this course routes through forested hills, deep ravines, and cool mountain streams. Golfers of all levels of skill and ability will find challenges in this breathtaking setting with “playing platforms” providing level lies amid 350-feet of elevation change.
