3 Reasons to Plan a Beech Mountain Summer Getaway

Escape to North Carolina’s Blue Ridge Mountains this summer and plan a getaway in the coolest town in the eastern US: Beech Mountain. This charming mountain town sits at an elevation of 5,506 feet, keeping the temperatures cool and comfortable all summer long. Plan your Beech Mountain summer getaway with Carolina Stays Vacation Rentals and spend your time hiking, biking, fishing, paddling, and attending summer events. There are endless reasons to visit Beech Mountain, but here are the top three:

  1. Perfect Weather for Outdoor Adventures

Thanks to our high elevation, the weather stays below 72 degrees year-round. Enjoy mild weather for summer adventures like hiking, biking, and fishing:


  • Visit the Emerald Outback Trail Park and choose from seven trails winding along panoramic views of the mountain summit. Then, head to Beech Mountain Resort and explore even more hiking and mountain biking trails.

  • Enjoy an afternoon of trout fishing on High Country Mountain Heritage Trout Waters Trail. Cast your line at Lake Coffey, Buckeye Lake, or Buckeye Creek.

  • Head to Buckeye Recreation Center and challenge your family to a game on the sports courts, sign up for group classes and workshops, and enjoy free kayak and canoe rentals at the lake.

2. Diverse Activities for Every Interest

Beech Mountain offers something for all ages and interests. Experience summer at Beech Mountain Resort and sign up for scenic lift rides, disc golf, and yoga classes. Then stop for a refreshing drink at Beech Mountain Brewing Company and unwind.


Traveling with kids this summer? Check out attractions like gem mining at White Wolf Lodge, climbing the ropes course at Mountaineer Adventure Tower,  or playing a round of mini golf at Brick Oven Pizzeria.
