Carvins Cove Natural Reserve

A natural reserve awash with diverse landscapes, Carvins Cove features sweeping pine forests, a sprawling reservoir, and umpteen nature trails for visitors to experience the area's beauty to its fullest. The Appalachian Trail runs alongside the border of the park, whereas McAfee Knob, yet another iconic landmark, overlooks the reserve. Experience the thrill of the outdoors at its best at the Carvins Cove Natural Reserve - you can go horseback riding, or hiking along one of its many trails.

McAfee Knob

Named after a Scottish settler, this popular overlook on the Catawba Mountain offers spellbinding vistas of the valley below, and is also considered to be one of the most photographed spots on the Appalachian Trail. It measures in at a height of 3,197 feet (974 meters). It is a great spot for a day hike, although camping is prohibited here.
