The Blue Ridge Parkway

The Jackson County portion of the Blue Ridge Parkway runs from the scenic route’s southern terminus at Cherokee to Waterrock Knob. It also includes Richland Balsam, the Parkway’s highest point at 6,053 feet.

Waterrock Knob

This is a great Parkway stopping point for hikes, picnics, or to enjoy the view. The visitor center provides information about amenities along the Parkway, and it also has a small bookstore.

Located at mile marker 451.2, nine miles south of the Parkway junction with U.S. 276.

N.C. 107

This road between Cashiers and Sylva is one of the most scenic and curvy routes in the mountains. It passes through the college town of Cullowhee and the lake resort community of Glenville, so there’s plenty to see along the way.

Whiteside Mountain

Located between Cashiers and Highlands off U.S. 64, this mountain’s craggy face is familiar to all who visit the region. A two-mile loop trail begins off Whiteside Mountain Road. (See map, center, for more hikes) 29
