The Jackrabbit trail system and the Jackrabbit Recreation Area offers some of the prettiest views of Lake Chatuge anywhere nearby. The trail system is well-marked with great "You are here" signage throughout. The main loop (the "white loop") is perfect for families with small children and hikers of all ages and levels. There are a half-dozen connector and loop trails that branch off the main trail so you can customize your hike to be as long or short, easy or arduous as you like. Where you're done hiking and biking, head 1/4 mile down the road to the Jackrabbit picnic area and swim beach. Located just 10 minutes away from Blackwell Branch Cabin and Gili's Cove Cottage.

There are many things we don't have here in our little corner of the mountains-- Walmart, strip malls, highways and traffic lights-- but one of the things we do have is easy, local access to some of the finest, freshest fruits and vegetables imaginable. Late Spring is the season for fresh, locally grown strawberries. Early summer is when all the wonderful Farmer's Markets open and growers from the entire region gather to offer the bounty of their harvests. Here in our little community of Hayesville, NC we're blessed with SMM Farms, a family farm owned and operated by folks who have called Hayesville and Clay county home for several generations. Meet Salvador and Alyssa and their family in this wonderful article that details the risks and rewards of operating a family farm here in the western North Carolina mountains.
