Explore the Outdoors

There are quite a few reasons why one might want to rent an RV in western North Carolina, but the natural beauty of the Appalachian region is far and away the best example of what Flat Rock has to offer. It's no wonder why wealthy and affluent citizens chose this mountain town as a summer vacation spot, considering the number of state parks and national forests within an hour's drive. Chimney Rock State Park is a perfect place to start your tour of the region, with a variety of fun, nature-based activities to get you going. The park is named for Chimney Rock, a massive granite monolith that you can hike, with sweeping views of the emerald green valleys below. There are staircases and viewing areas chiseled into this rock structure, where guests may observe birds of prey and other local wildlife in a natural setting. If you hike into the forest, you may even catch a glimpse of some trickling waterfalls.

DuPont State Forest is also close to town, ideal for swimming, fishing, kayaking, mountain biking, hiking, and camping out in your Flat Rock campervan rental. There are over 80 miles of hiking trails weaving through the forest, connecting the mountain tops to one another in style. There are several famous waterfalls found in the forest, each one more breathtaking than the last.

Lake James State Park straddles the edge of Pisgah National Forest, and both are exceptional places to find yourself while on your Flat Rock RV rental vacation in North Carolina. Lake James State Park borders Lake James, a massive, human-made lake known for its recreation potential. Bask in the sun’s golden rays while splashing around in the shallows of Lake James, or go fishing in one of the area’s designated areas. Camping is allowed in certain spots too, so your Flat Rock motorhome rental will surely come in handy. Pisgah National Forest is one of the finest examples of what the Appalachian region has to offer, with 500,000 acres of sublime wilderness and old-growth forest. Backpacking, trekking, rock climbing, mountain biking, geocaching: there is essentially no limit to the fun you can have in this glorious stretch of rainforest blanketing heavenly mountain-scapes. Camping in the forest is possible too when you bring your Flat Rock RV rental for a mini trip.
