  The Different Communities in Our Area  

   Glenville

Lake Glenville is the highest lake east of the Mississippi at an elevation of 3,942 feet.   With 26 miles of shoreline and several waterfalls, Lake Glenville is fed by five tributaries plus dozens of creeks and streams.   Glenville is a beautiful community rich in history.   The original name was Hamburg Township and was settled in 1827 but in 1891, the town was renamed Glenville.   While filling the new lake, the town of Glenville (Hamburg) was flooded along with all the schools, homes, businesses, and farmlands up to a depth of 300 feet.  Lake Glenville, NC offers visitors and residents a wide variety of activities with all variety of boating and waters ports plus great fishing in clear, clean water for trout, walleye and bass.  On one side of the lake, boaters can troll up to a waterfall watching it spill into the lake directly in front of them. Here the fishing is the best.

   Cashiers

High on the southern end of the Blue Ridge Mountains at an elevation of almost 3,500 feet, sits the peaceful community The Village of Cashiers, North Carolina.   Only 2.5 hours from Atlanta, Georgia and less than 1.5 hours from Asheville, North Carolina and Greenville, South Carolina, Cashiers has long been a favorite of Southerners ready to escape the summer's heat. The awesome natural beauty is enhanced by pristine mountains, tranquil lakes, clear streams and numerous cascading waterfalls. With mild summer temperatures which rarely go beyond the 70’s, outdoor activities consist of hiking, fly-fishing, rock climbing and mountain biking. But the master of outdoor sports in Cashiers is golf, with courses designed by such masters as Phil Mickelson, Arnold Palmer, Donald Ross, Tom Fazio and George Cobb. The village also offers unique shopping whether it is antiques, local crafts, beautiful artwork, or sophisticated clothing.

 

    Scenes of Jackson County

The Blue Ridge Parkway The Parkway runs 469 miles through mountain meadows and endless vistas. It was authorized in the 1930s as a Depression-era public works project, and was more than half a century in the making. It was the nation's first, and ultimately longest, rural parkway, connecting Shenandoah National Park in Virginia with the Great Smoky Mountains National Park in North Carolina. The Parkway is an excellent place to spend a day touring with a picnic in tow.

The Great Smoky Mountains National Park Jackson County serves as the eastern gateway to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, which attracts the most visitors annually of any national park. The 800 square mile park, shared by North Carolina and Tennessee, is considered one of the most ecologically diverse of the parks in the national system. The Great Smoky Mountains get their unusual name from the mist-like blue haze that often covers the peaks. This haze is produced by the moist environment of streams and waterfalls interacting with the thick vegetation. The Cherokee name for the area, Shaconage, means “place of blue smoke.” Outdoor activities are popular in the park, which is the only one in the national system that does not charge an entrance fee.
