The Haywood County Chamber of Commerce would like to thank the following sponsors:

   
 
If it is apples you crave in the fall, the sights and scents of holiday celebration, mountain music passed down through generations, or the creative beauty of handmade arts and crafts, there are festivals celebrating these and other mountain activities throughout the year.

Haywood County has a wide variety of arts and cultural organizations, museums featuring handicrafts by regional artisans, collections devoted to preserving and exhibiting our heritage, and even a museum that celebrates American transportation.

The Blue Ridge Parkway winds its way around the county with four entrances to this scenic byway and its many hiking, viewing and picnic spots along the way.

The most famous natural attraction in the area is the Great Smoky Mountains. The 520,000 acres of pristine wilderness is a world unto itself. The Great Smoky Mountains are part of the Blue Ridge Mountains, which has more than 17 peaks with elevations topping 6,000 feet. Other mountain ranges include the picturesque Balsam Mountains, which borders on the west side of Haywood County. The Balsams offer seven types of forests and has peaks of more than 6,400 feet. There are also the Nantahala Mountains nearby. The Nantahala National Forest at 516,000 acres is North Carolina's largest national forest, spanning from Waynesville to Murphy, Fontana and Cashiers. It is also home to the Nantahala River Gorge, a nine-mile stretch of the Nantahala River, which offers a haven for whitewater rafters.
