Transylvania County Natural beauty, unlimited cultural and recreational opportunities, excellent schools. Listening to a summer concert at the Brevard Music Center in Brevard, hiking in Pisgah National Forest, Dupont State Forest or Gorges State Park, admiring spectacular waterfalls, driving on the Blue Ridge Parkway, whitewater paddling and rafting, fly fishing, rock climbing; all of these are part of life in an area framed by the magnificent Blue Ridge Mountains.
