There is still a quiet community tucked away in the southwestern corner of North Carolina where nature's beauty abounds in all its many facets. Beautiful streams, lake and mountains for all to enjoy. That beauty lies nearly unchanged through the years in Clay County.

Your own "secret" place may be a secluded mountain top retreat with scenic views and a babbling brook running alongside your cabin. Others may prefer a lake side getaway on the shores of jewel-like Lake Chatuge. A campsite in one of our spacious campgrounds or a favorite spot on the 64,200 acres of US Forest land and 7 miles of the Appalachian Trail lie within Clay County may define your "secret" place.
