290 Macon AveThe Land of waterfalls. With two state parks and two national parks in its backyard, the charming town of Brevard is a prime gathering spot for outdoor enthusiasts. It’s a special place where you can mountain bike in the morning, rock climb at mid-day, kayak down the French Broad River in the afternoon and take a zip line ride at sunset – and gaze at a waterfall or two along the way (the area claims more than 250). Always a great treat is Sliding Rock in Pisgah National Forest, billed as the cheapest natural roller coaster ride on the planet – it’s a 60-foot watery glide down slippery rock into a deep COLD pool at the bottom.

Not for the unadventurous. This hidden gem is one of the best secret swimming holes in the southeast. This hike is steep and hard. You will be crab-crawling or holding onto trees on the way down. This is quite a drive and hard to find - Follow 281 north, and you will go around Tanasee Creek Lake on the left and Wolf Creek Lake on the right. You will find a grassy parking area with the sign “Danger: Water Levels Can Change,” which is the public entrance to Paradise Falls.
