John was our tour guide…read more(other half owner) and words can not explain how amazing this 3 mile hiking, climbing, sliding adventure through a mostly untraveled cave was! Note: we were EXHAUSTED after! John took plenty of breaks and informed us about the cave thoroughly throughout. You can see his love for the cave that he has been showing for 22 years!! This is the most authentic experience you will have! I can't say enough!

Appalachian Underground never fails to deliver a great trip. I've been caving for more than 20…read moreyears and Mel is the best guide I've ever had. She is knowledgeable, passionate about caving and all around fun! She was generous with her time, company and supplies, providing fanny packs full of snacks and bottled water for all and gloves and knee pads to make the experience easier on our bodies. My group of 4 (3 first timers) had a fabulous time exploring Worley's Cave with her. Beginners can feel confident and at ease with how well she obviously knows the cave. Folks with caving experience looking for a little extra challenge will also get lots of opportunities for "side missions" to shimmy and crawl through small spaces, although there is no pressure to participate in those if someone would rather not be in tight spaces. All the stars! I can't wait to book another trip!

They have mild spots for beginners, and extremely difficult long hikes for those who love a challenge! There are many paths to take and different destinations, so you never get bored of hiking the same trail over and over. There's always a surprise. The view is absolutely stunning, and somehow, it's always so clean! I absolutely adore this trail, it's the only trail I go to now. Here's a photo of me after the hike! This has become my usual spot to just hang out and enjoy nature. It's very peaceful closer to the top, so I enjoy meditating here, as well. Definitely recommend this wonderful place!! Will never go anywhere else!

Beautiful and Serene Park…read more This park is located in the Cherokee National Forest. My Harley-Loving husband takes us here all the time, he has a ride he calls the Watuaga Lake Loop. It is a great ride in the hotter months because of the higher elevations. For him, it is a great ride through both the Pisgah and Cherokee National Forests just getting to this lake. I love the ride because I love the water views with the mountains in the background at this lake. I have posted a couple of photos. There are actually a few parks around this lake however this particular one seems especially nice. I have seen small boats on this lake but never noticed any water sports such has water skiing. I imagine the water is probably too cold for that even in the summer. So that being said, it is a very quiet lake. We love boating also and are considering a pontoon for this lake. The park has the basics -- restrooms and picnic tables. We generally just stop for a picnic lunch. Cannot beat the views for lunch. I recommend this park for a picnic, or a solitary quiet time, or a romantic day trip to just name a few suggestions.

An enjoyable trip from the Wilbur Dam down the river. Our guide, Daniel, was very personable &…read moreknowledgeable. We really enjoyed his conversation & information about the river. Trip was about 2+ hrs. We stopped for snacks & water & a bathroom break. Also an opportunity to jump into an area of still water. Rope swing & slide available as well. It was a rainy afternoon, we were provided ponchos. Water guns also included! Which was fun for the teenager in our group !

My friends and I went there yesterday. Unfortunately we arrived 10 min before the museum closed…read morefor lunch. That was disappointing that the staff couldn't divide and conquer so that it could stay open. The map of the park wasn't the best and as a state park, would've thought it would be better. However, it's relatively small so unlikely for most people to get lost. The map didn't even indicate that there was a numbered path to follow. I guess if the people hadn't been in a rush to close for lunch they would've told us that. We tried to find each marker but we also don't know how many there were cause again, the map didn't indicate them at all. Nice park to walk around, picnic, and just relax.

I love this location! I remember coming here in…read morekindergarten for a field trip and the actors for the re-enactments were so amazing! Because this made my childhood spark a love for our History here, I come here quite often as an adult. The museum is very interesting and although it's not the largest exhibit, they definitely keep you wowed. Also, the trail is beautiful. It's very fun and relaxing to walk a trail surrounded by nature. Not to mention, the water next to the trail is so beautiful and there's always ducks chilling out. Their garden in the center of the park is so beautiful and the amount of wild life (squirrels, rabbits, birds, etc) is amazing. It's so cute, too! I actually enjoy taking photos here with my camera! I do a lot of photoshoots here and this is a wonderful spot because there's such an abundance of locations. It's a perfect spot for photographers during every season! The "town" where they do most of the re-enactments is so beautiful. It's very interesting as well to see how we used to live so many years ago. The staff is very friendly when you go inside of the museum and are very helpful if you have any questions. I love this place, it will always hold a special place in my heart.

Me and my wife recently came here during thanksgiving week to see what this place is like. This place was absolutely awesome for what it was! We didn't have a dog but they were welcoming of that. The people that come here are absolutely friendly and they seem like regulars that come here. This is such a great social event where everyone gets to me everyone and it's way better than going to a sit-down establishment. Even though is an outdoor place there's at least a shelter where you're indoors by the bar and you got heat keeping you warm. Restrooms were very clean , the food is absolutely astounding. This place has non alcoholic beverages as well if you do not want to drink. Staff here was very friendly and everyone here is down to earth. Highly recommend visiting this place if you have a chance. Hours are not too bad at all

Searching for true love and forgiveness? Talk to GOD and get…read morea DOG! #ReflectDogs Love & Forgiveness We had never tried coming here because we never wanted to be a part of any organization that would have us as a member ha ha ha ha ha no we really didn't try because it has been our experience as we travel the country that you have to supply proof other than tags that your dog is vaccinated! Kind of like your kids before you send them to school! But as you know we travel and go to dog parks, a little over 2,000 so far across the country. With the exception of one just outside of Tulsa Oklahoma and one just outside of Durango that has always been the rules, but there have been exceptions. So when someone I met at the dog park told me they had worked here and that the collar tag would be sufficient, I signed up. But when I drove up the young man that met me at the gate told me I would need proof other than the tag? And I was looking forward to having something to eat hahaha anyway, having spent the majority of my adult life running car dealerships I can certainly appreciate or disapprove of the fact that as I was getting back in my car to leave disappointedly the young man pointed out to me that I could drive across town if I really wanted to spend some money at one of their stores? A for effort but F on timing... So go online register your dog and do all the other stuff and wait until you get the email. Do not believe anyone that tells you they worked here and that isn't required. YoungLady did not have her service vest on and I offered to let them look at my phone to verify that she is registered and vaccinated according to the service that provided her. So there may be some confusion there, but more than one person told me I should be okay before I got here:-( they do have a handicap spot right by the gate!!
