Our neighborhood is a great place to walk and close enough if you want to walk downtown or to the seasonal tailgate market.
Craig Miller has been exploring the waterfalls of Transylvania County
and Western NC for over two decades. He can share with you many stories of local mountains
and waterfalls that he has learned over the years. There is no better guide to take you on a tour of our area's best waterfalls!

East Fork Farm - Organic Farm and Local Adventure Trips
At East Fork Farm our farm team is working hard to prepare for your arrival: Our chef is classically trained and well-seasoned in farm-to-table style catering, and our professional adventure guides are excited to lead your family and friends on an adventure you won't soon forget.
Our aim is to customize your experience based on your own goals and interests. If you wish to fish beautiful trout steams, tour accessible waterfalls and picnic with your family, we can provide that experience. If you wish to relax at the farm and settle down to a farm dinner while the sun sets over the balsam range, we would love to provide that experience. If you wish to embark on a 3-day backpacking trip through the local wilderness and end your journey with a feast and bonfire at the farm, we will be equally excited to guide you in that endeavor.

Hiking
and Biking:
As far as hiking and biking, there is just so much in this
area. I'd recommend checking out the visitwaterfalls.com hiking section
for hikes and perhaps these sites: http://www.mtbikewnc.com/
We drive into Dupont and do the trail ride with our 5-year old to Bridal Veil Falls. It's fun. Not technical because I would just crash :-). We recommend a Weehoo Bike Trailer for long family rides.
You can ride to the greenway from our house and go all the way into Pisgah. We also do this ride with our daughter and then wander around the woods. There are some road crossings to manage once you are on the greenway. The map can be found here: http://www.cityofbrevard.com/
Our house has a single car garage which can serve as an excellent bike parking lot. There is also a hose right outside for washing after a good ride. The laundry room is just off the garage for convenient gear / boot removal as well, which does a good job protecting the light carpeting from debris and mud.

Restaurants:
Surprisingly - they have a nice Sushi place in Brevard next
to the Walmart right at the entrance to Pisgah. The mountains aren't a location
I'd have expected to find edible, let alone quite good sushi! http://www.sorasushinc.com/#_=
Hobknob and Square Root are both dependable for nice,
reliable and tasty meals. We are very into eating out and haven't been anywhere
we did not want to return to in Brevard. There is a new creole restaurant
downtown that has some creative specials.
For more
budget options, Pescados, Mayberry's, Pad Thai, and El Ranchero are all
reliable (or at least have been in the past). Kiwi Gelato is always delicious!
If you want to go further afield, check out Gorges State Park and then eat in Sapphire after, definitely try http://www.tablesixtyfour.com/ - a new place with really unique offerings.
Breweries are popping up all around the area:
http://www.brevard-brewing.
Driving via S Caldwell St, this brewery is .9 miles, or 3 minutes from our house. We walk to this area often, with our child who is now 5. With her, it's a 20 minute walk. Adults can make it in 10-15. It's right next to Kiwi Gelato.

This one
is 3.4 miles from us. About 8 minutes by car. We can provide you directions to
the greenway if you wanted to bike here. You'd probably enjoy the ride - our
friends do! Oskar also has a trolley schedule that takes folks to Asheville but
you'd have to check with them in summer to determine availability. They have a
kid friendly outdoor environment but only serve peanuts and no food.
According
to google it's 19.1 miles/27 minutes by car from our house.
I hope that helps a little with your planning!
