Sunset on Lake Chatuge at Jackrabbit Mountain Recreation Area, NC.
beautiful scenery during sunrise
Fires Creek Recreation Area - great place to spend the day enjoying the pristine wilderness. Easy trails that run along the creek.
Fires creek management area. A local place to have a great picnic. It also offers horseback riding areas and great fly fishing spots. There are multiple waterfalls and places to drive up mountains. This waterfall is a little hike behind the picnic area. If you wade across the steam and walk up the stream some you will find this beautiful waterfall. It's best in mid sprig with the rhododendron is in bloom and the spring showers bring more water over the falls.
