For a great outdoors vacation, come to McDowell County!  Biking is a favorite here along the Blue Ridge Parkway and the Mountains-to-Sea trail.  The annual “Assault On Mt. Mitchell” is a 100-mile race with a 2,400’ elevation change attempted by 1,000+ cyclists.

Three golf facilities in McDowell County provide mountain or lake scenery.  Find year-round play at Linville Falls Club, Marion Lake Club or Old Fort Golf Course.

Enjoy photographing waterfalls?  You’ll find four in the area – Catawba Falls, Tom’s Creek Falls, Linville Falls, and Roaring Fork Falls.

Two state parks nearby include Lake James State Park and Mt. Mitchell State Park.
