Simply the coolest mountain bike and hiking destination close to Canton. It is so close, you can even hit it on your lunch break! Don't forget to visit Papertown coffee shop and give downtown Canton some love while you are here. Canton and the surrounding towns are rapidly maturing into one of the best outdoor adventure destinations in the United States, between Chestnut Mountain Nature Park, PNF, Shining Rock Wilderness Area and the incredible Pigeon River. Western NC at its finest! It is only going to get better.
