BIKE RIDERS TAKE NOTE!
Motorcycle riders know their favorite
routes by name. And here in Maggie
Valley, we are at the center of the
universe... Well, ok, not quite. But
we ARE located precisely between
two of the best-ever roads for bikers:
TAIL OF THE DRAGON, and
DIAMONDBACK LOOP.
Both are incredible day trips, so plan
to spend an extra couple of days so
that you can do it all!

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!

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.)
Twigs & Leaves
We have some of the most interesting neighbors...
Popcorn Sutton who is featured prominently in both Mountain Talk and in the CMT (Country Music Television) production Moonshine Madness.

Waterfall Descriptions, Directions, and Photos
NC National Parks with Waterfalls
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?
