Hiking the beautiful gorge at Hickory Nut Forest

We don’t feel we own this land. Rather, we feel more aligned as stewards, here to protect it. We are full of wonder and awe at nature’s intricate beauty. Living here is about discovering mysteries and miracles: and with fall approaching its a magical time.  

Forever wild, protected land surrounds Hickory Nut Forest, and covenants on the lots ensure that homes will blend naturally into the forest. We have kept the most special wild places: cascading streams, tumbling waterfalls, sheer cliffs, and distant vistas. There are over six miles of hiking trails that residents and visitors can enjoy and an adjoining 800 acres in both Little Bearwallow Mountain and Florence Nature Preserves. Just down the gorge are another 3500 acres of waterfalls and cliffs at Chimney Rock State Park.

Hiking in the fall is a wonderful way to experience the magic of this area. If you would like to come out to hike, please give us a call or email us.  Go to www.LaughingWatersNC.com or www.HickoryNutForest.com
