Woodfin

Bring a picnic basket as for a scenic drive north from Asheville on Merrimon Avenue toward the town of Woodfin. Parks, lakes and tree-lined streets offer sunny spots to enjoy rolling hills with a mountain backdrop. Head over to Ledges Whitewater Park and watch kayakers practice basic skills in this gentler, rolling section of the French Broad River.

History buffs shouldn’t miss the nearby birthplace of Western North Carolina’s Civil War governor and most successful politician, Zebulon Baird Vance. Learn about antebellum farm life and Vance’s famous mountain family on a tour of this reconstructed pioneer homestead nestled in picturesque Reems Creek Valley.

Don’t miss the fun, quirky businesses of Woodfin. Get French roast with attitude at Asheville Coffee Roasters, enjoy the “World’s Best Carrot Cake” and the always-eclectic treasure trove that is Sanctuary of Stuff.
