W hy do locals live here? Why do visitors travel here? Why are we all so thrilled to be here? It's simple, it feels like HOME in the mountains.

Of course, we're proud of our friendly citizens, delicious restaurants, cool breweries, thriving music scene, and eclectic shopping opportunities.

Simply put, it’s our comfortable climate in all four seasons, our majestic mountain vistas and peaceful cascading waterfalls. It’s a relaxing hike through the woods, or a rainbow trout caught in our rivers and streams.

It’s all here and it’s who we are. It’s the reason you’re here, or the reason you should be. For a hiking trail and waterfall map or a fly fishing trail map, visit www.mountainlovers.com.

Tight

Lines Jackson County is home to the Western North Carolina Fly Fishing Trail - the nation’s first.

The trail maps out 15 prime spots to catch brown, rainbow and brook trout. From wide-open, crystal clear rivers to secluded Great Smoky Mountain streams, the WNC Fly Fishing Trail has you covered. Visit us at www.FlyFishingTrail.com for a map to download, descriptions and GPS coordinates for all 15 spots, plus a photo gallery and weekly fishing report.

In 2016, the Jackson County Chamber of Commerce led the effort for our home to become the official Trout Capital of N.C. Legislators on both the N.C. House and Senate floors recognized Jackson County as the “Premier Trout Fishing Destination” in the state. Follow the N.C. Trout Capital at www.nctroutcapital.com.

Jackson County contains 4,600 miles of trout streams and receives an annual stocking of 92,800 trout, which is the most of any county in the state. It also features the state’s longest contiguous stretch of N.C. Mountain Heritage Trout Waters. Jackson County is the home of the state record for the largest rainbow trout ever caught.

Jackson County has 31 public access points for fishing; supports fishing classes for children; is home to the nation’s largest river cleanup day in the country; and plays host to its own chapter of Trout Unlimited.

There are now six retail fly shops and more than 25 guides in Jackson County. In 2022, the chamber began a sticker campaign to discourage littering called, "Don't Trash Where We Splash."

Paw Town Pets welcome here

If you are like most people, when it comes time to take a trip or consider a community for relocations, one of the first things to consider is "can we take our pets?"

Jackson County is a pet lover's paradise. We have an abundance of hiking trails, rivers, creeks and lakes for pets to romp around in.

At Mark Watson Park, located between Dillsboro and Sylva, there is actually a dog park where four-legged friends can stretch their legs in a safe & fenced environment.

We have several businesses in our chamber directory that offer doggie day care, pet grooming, pet sitting, and more.

Our humane societies and shelters are among the best, with top notch facilities to find your next furry friend.

Many of our restaurants are pet friendly, allowing dogs on a

leash to accompany their owners while you enjoy a cool beverage or warm meal. Often, they may make a friend or two as well.

Come explore Jackson County with your favorite furry companion. Not only do we think you'll be pleased, but your pet will be wondering when you'll come back again.

We have a brochure in our chamber visitor center with pet friendly establishments in it, as well as a link on our website for pet friendly chamber members at www.mountainlovers.com.

Jackson County is a pet lover's paradise for furry friends.
