Wilkes County is a recreational Mecca, attracting thousands of eco-tourists each year. The Kerr-Scott reservoir is a favorite of fishermen and boating enthusiasts of all ages.
Adjacent to the reservoir, Dark Mountain Trail has been rated as one of the Southeast's most challenging single-track mountain bike trails. Each year the mountain is home to the "Bust and Burn" 24-hour endurance race.
The Blue Ridge Parkway, known as "America's most scenic drive", borders Wilkes County on three sides, and offers several spectacular scenic overlooks and access to the over 300 miles of tranquil hiking trails which weave throughout the Blue Ridge Mountains.
For those enjoying a peaceful and strain-free stroll in nature, the Yadkin River Greenway is a paved walking, running, or biking path that weaves along the banks of the Yadkin River.
Stone Maintain State Park is home to a massive granite dome and some of the best camping, hiking, and trout fishing in North Carolina.
