What's New?
Hi, all! I've gotten a few questions from both new and returning guests about the status of local trails following Hurricane Helene recovery efforts, bear news and info, and what's new to do in the area. My humans hope this page will answer some questions and excite you about coming to Hinterlander.

Local Trail Status
The G5 Collective organization provides details on new trails, trail status (like closures), volunteer opportunities and much more. To learn more or see their interactive map of trails, visit g5trailcollective.org or click the map image below.
MAP HINTS: We have marked Hinterlander's approximate location on the image below. When trying to determine Hinterlander's approximate location on other maps of the area, keep in mind that Hinterlander sits about halfway up Linville Mountain between Laurel Branch and Pond Branch and is accessible via Route 221 only.
What's there to do?
The ACTIVITIES section of our site provides lists of things to do and places to go including recreation spots, park maps, sports options (even pickleball!), museums, wineries, family activities, and a bunch of towns in the area to visit for shopping, dining, and entertainment.
Please note some recreational spots are seasonal and we recommend you contact them directly when planning your visit. Our lists include website links and phone numbers to make it easy for you to check.
Is there something you think we should add to our Activities lists? Tell Us About It!
