Black Mountain, North Carolina

Spectacular Views & Fun Attractions

Located in Western North Carolina in the Swannanoa Valley. The city of Asheville is just 20 miles to our West. We are called the Front Porch of Western North Carolina because of the quick rise in elevation if you approach us from the east. We are only 6 hours by horseback from Mt. Mitchell, elev. 6,684 ft. which is the highest point east of the Mississippi.

North Fork-just west of downtown is a wide peaceful valley. Higher in those mountains is the watershed for the city of Asheville.

Cherry Street is a charming historic district transformed into wonderful shops and restaurants.

Lake Tomahawk is the recreation center for our town. With a community hall, pool, tennis courts, picnic pavilion, walking trail, fishing lake and community garden, this is a favorite meeting place for locals and travelers. Concerts are held here for community celebrations throughout the year.

Outdoor activities include tennis, jogging, hiking, canoeing, biking, fishing and just plain strolling.

Our elevation in town is 2400 ft. We experience the four seasons with mild winters and cool summers. There are beautiful natural sites to see here as well as the charming downtown district and the recreation centers.

Spectacular views surround the public golf course which is adjacent to the Lake Tomahawk Recreation Center.
