Trout
Fishing on the Cherokee Reservation
A fishing license for the Park is $20 for the year. On the Cherokee
reservation, you don't need a license, just a $5 daily permit.
We have local mines which do not "salt" their findings, so that all gems are natural and occur within the mine. Some mines do "salt" and that's great when you've got little ones and you want a sure thing to give them a thrill. The largest star sapphire ever mined was found right here in Haywood County!
The
Old Pressley's Sapphire Mine
The most famous mine in the area. Flume for sapphires and other gems.

Different Drummer
Maggie Valley's own potter, Terry will WOW you with his fabulous
work. That's a little sample of his pottery in the photo. Want to
see more? His studio is on the main road in Maggie Valley - a little log
cabin, across from Eaglenest. And check it out: he does entire landscapes
in clay!
Burr
Studio
Dane & MaryEtta Burr have an inspiring gallery in nearby
Waynesville. MaryEtta mans the potter's wheel (although she's not limited
to it) and Dane's sculpture will make you smile. Be sure to take
note of the incredible counter: it was hand-fashioned by the two of them.
And if you stop in, be sure to tell Dane, "I'm here for Sandee's
mug!" (That's a standing joke. He's been promising me the
darned thing for three years, now.)

Waterfall Descriptions, Directions, and Photos
Pisgah National Forest Waterfall Map
The rivers of Western North Carolina offer a variety of raft trips, including the hair-raising Ocoee (experienced rafters only), the French Broad which has enough rapids to give the novice a thrill, and the Nantahala for family trips. Take your river trip via raft, canoe, kayak, or "duck".
Our family started out on the French Broad River and we can recommend this run, especially since it ends at Hot Springs... There's nothing like climbing into a big steaming hot tub right at the edge of the river to ease the muscles you just discovered you had!
Last year's trip on the Little Pigeon River was a bit more challenging, and a lot of fun! A great couple of hours on the river, it starts about on the other side of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, so it becomes a fabulous day-trip. The drive through the park takes about an hour and a half. Then you spend the early afternoon on the river, leaving the rest of your day free to picnic, or seek out some great Carolina barbeque, or hike a mountain trail. We chose to drive across the "top" of North Carolina, and -after a brief sojourn back in those great mineral springs tubs at Hot Springs- made our way back to Timberwolf Creek via Asheville. National Park, whitewater, hot springs soaking, and shopping. What more could you ask?
