PLAY. Lonesome Valley amenities bring to life the community’s vision. The Valley has a long tradition of mountain trout that make their home in the clear, cold, waters of Western North Carolina.

Long Lake is ideal for swimming, canoeing or paddle boating featuring boathouse and swimming area. For a more thrilling adventure, climb the two granite faces framing the property, Cow Rock Mountain and Laurel Knob (the tallest crag east of the Mississippi). Hiking is also a popular attraction. The carefully designed network of trails and pathways connect every corner of Lonesome Valley.
