Ashe County is located in the Northwestern corner of North Carolina atop the Blue Ridge mountains. It is a place of scenic views, small towns, and welcoming people. 

Visitors come here for the serenity of mountain cabins and the spirit of shared community.   They come to hike the hills, canoe the New River, and fish trout from spring fed streams.

If you're looking to find elbow room and a slower pace of life, night skies filled with a million stars instead of the glow of streetlights, and to hear the music of whippoorwill and hoot owl, then Ashe County awaits you!

Ashe County is just a stone's throw from Virginia and Tennessee, an easy drive up from Charlotte, and a great escape for the flatlanders down past Winston, Greensboro and Raleigh.  Even us Appalachian diaspora of Washington and Baltimore make a point of coming home to the mountains on a regular basis.
