This has been our favorite trail with small kids (and dogs) because the trail is super short and easy. It’s probably 1/4 mile. Parking is easy also. And the waterfall has a swimming area! There is a second trail to the top of the waterfalll for people wanting a more challenging hike!

Comprised of more than 6,311 acres of protected public land in the Nantahala National Forest, Panthertown lies on the eastern continental divide in North Carolina’s Blue Ridge Mountains and is listed as a Natural Heritage Site. With more than 30 miles of U.S. Forest Service-designated mixed-use trails, visitors can enjoy deep gorges and broad valleys, mountain bogs and granitic rock domes, tranquil creeks and plunging waterfalls. The backcountry recreation area offers stunning nature, waterfall and riverside hikes and seemingly endless scenic vistas. A map purchased at a local outfitter store is highly recommended to traverse the area. Learn more at Panthertown.org.

Dream Catcher's Fishing
21 Steeple Rd
This place is good for little ones as there are zip lines without a minimum age (most places minimum is 8 years old) but there is a 40lb minimum. Also, unlike highlands arial park (which is also fun!) these are traditional zip lines not just the obstacle course ones they usually limit the younger kids to

This is just SR 107 to the "4 corners"—one of the busiest place in town. Homemade cakes and pies; check out the frozen biscuits (best ever!) or pick up some delicious BBQ at their "On the Side BBQ." You can also find locally grown fruits and vegetables there.
