Lake Linville

Located just off I-75, at exit 62, this 275 acre lake can fill your days, and even nights, with relaxing fun.  The dock is one half mile north on Lake Linville Road. Bring your own boat for fishing and water skiing, or rent one of the many pontoon. There's even quiet little spots if you prefer fishing off the bank.  Catfish, bluegill, bass (both large and small mouth), crappie and carp make this a lake for everyone.  Camping also available. Visit the cafe for delicious burgers everyday, and all you can eat fish and ribs that are guaranteed to melt in your mouth on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

Anglin Falls
 
Although it's obvious by the eroded rock formation, that water once fell forcefully off Anglin Falls, today weather conditions determine the flow of water coming down from the rocks.  Located in John B. Stephenson Memorial Forest, this rich wooded ravine is open to the public for hiking, bird watching and nature studying.  It is about a 3/4 mile hike, sometimes steep climbing, from the parking area to the falls. I-75 exit 62. US 25 to 1786 then left onto 1787 which turns into Hammond Fork Road.  Go approximately 1 1/2 to 2 miles and turn right onto Anglin Fork Road (paved then gravel).  Go .8 mile and turn left and then .2 miles to trail entrance.

Camp Wildcat
 
Visit this historic site where the Battle Of Wildcat Mountain took place and walk the trails blazed by Civil War soldiers, many of whom were facing fire for their first time.  The hike takes approximately an hour and a half if you stop and read the wayside exhibits highlighting different points of the battle and general information of that era.  Take I-75 to exit 49.  Turn east and go 0.6 miles on 909, then turn south onto US 25 and go 0.7 miles and turn left onto Hazel Patch Road.  Take a left at the sign directing you to Camp Wildcat. The road leading to the gazebo where the trail begins, is a gravel county road that under some conditions may not be passable by low clearance vehicles.
