Outdoor Adventure is synonymous with the North Carolina Mountains. With an abundance of national forests, rivers, lakes, trails and waterfalls, adventure awaits all ages and all skill levels. For the most adventurous thrill seekers, there is white water rafting, rock climbing, mountain biking and wilderness trekking. People who want a little soft adventure enjoy rafting down the more sedate areas of the rivers, canoeing, kayaking, hiking, touring waterfalls, gem mining and much more.
