The Wade Hampton Golf Club is located near the Chattanooga River, where anglers can enjoy a quiet morning of fishing. The surrounding mountains provide plenty of hiking trails and opportunities to birdwatch or observe wildlife. Despite the rural setting, the town of Cashiers is just minutes away, whether you’re picking up groceries or just browsing for some unique gifts. For a day trip, Asheville and Clemson are both easily accessible, offering sports games, shopping, and live music. Pigeon Forge, Charlotte, and even Atlanta are ideally located for short weekend getaways in case you’re craving a night in a more urban atmosphere. 

The area is full of state parks and preserved land, which means wildlife can be found in abundance. The waters of the lakes and streams are home to mussels, dozens of species of fish, and turtles, whereas, on land, you can find raccoons, snakes, armadillos, and coyotes. Black bears are seen regularly, and there have even been reported sightings of mountain lions. Over 400 rare plants can be found growing in the wild as well, making this area a botanist’s dream. 

Adventurous people will want to take advantage of the opportunity to engage in some thrilling sports, from whitewater rafting down the Chattanooga to ziplining through the trees. Climb some rocks, hike to the top of the mountain, or even pick up the local chunk of the Appalachian National Scenic Trail, which stretches over 2200 miles from Georgia all the way up to Maine. Whatever extreme sport you’ve wanted to try, you can find it nearby. 

Don’t miss the opportunity to live a peaceful, relaxed life in the gorgeous Western North Carolina Mountains.
