Lake Toxaway Attractions and Events

The Lake Toxaway region is rich in natural beauty that beckons visitors at any time of the year. From driving the Blue Ridge Parkway to visiting one of America's most famous homes—the Biltmore Estate—you'll know that you are in one of the most spectacular areas of the country.

Transylvania County, which holds Lake Toxaway, has been coined by many as "The Land of Waterfalls." There are hikes and walks for all fitness levels throughout the county that lead to some of the most spectacular waterfalls in the country. The web site www.visitwaterfalls.com will introduce you to waterfalls you will want to visit during your stay.

In addition to waterfalls, Transylvania County is also noted for a population of White Squirrels—literally squirrels with white coats. Each Memorial Day weekend, these unusual animals are celebrated in the Go Nuts! White Squirrel Festival in downtown Brevard. Filled with great music, food and friendly faces, the festival is an event families enjoy year after year.

The Blue Ridge Mountains and The Blue Ridge Parkway

Cool Summers and incredible Fall foliage are the two big draws for visitors to the Blue Ridge Mountains. Dotted with waterfalls, this mountainous area is perfect for hiking, camping, trout fishing, boating and other outdoor events. The streams are home to some of the best fly fishing in the world and there are guides who can help you make the most of your trip. Shop for antiques. Visit cafes. Drive the Blue Ridge Parkway. Just imagine yourself here.

Around each bend in the glorious Blue Ridge Parkway, you'll find vistas that take your breath away, and we encourage you to find them all. You'll also want to make sure that you visit The Biltmore Estate in Asheville, NC, to take in the splendor of the home of industrialist George Vanderbilt.

As you drive the Blue Ridge Parkway, you'll discover little towns that have been home to naturalists, authors and artists who could not resist the serene beauty of this region. You will also find it hard to resist the allure of a crackling fireplace on an autumn evening; or the snap of a fishing line heading for its destination; and there's nothing more breathtaking than a Blue Ridge Mountain sunset. So, come and enjoy our beautiful state and this fantastic region. We know you'll discover the beauty of nature. And yourself.
