Bordered by the Blue Ridge Parkway and boasting 30 miles of double black and single back trails, the forest is one of the most popular places in WNC for mountain biking, hiking, fishing and horseback riding. Bent Creek is also home to the North Carolina Arboretum, an arboretum and botanical garden that hosts a full calendar of events from guided trail walks to an enchanting annual show of winter lights.
