Western NC Information

WNC Guide to Cherokee County - There's a special place in the southwestern corner of North Carolina. Where forested mountains rather than skyscrapers seem to touch the sky. Where the lakes sparkle and the air is crisp and clean. Where you can still find the charm of small-town America and the heritage of our past. It's a special place called Cherokee County, a mountain-lake vacationland right next door to Tennessee and Georgia.
