Sightseeing

Good place to cool off on a hot day. Water is always cold, but it’s a short swim (10 ft) to shore. Good for families.

Mountain Biking and Hiking

So many outdoor options to choose from. NC is 10 hours drive West to East with 100 counties and 350 waterfalls… 250 of the waterfalls are in Transylvania County (Brevard). Definitely explore a few of them during your stay.
Get there early on weekends to find parking. Very nice hiking and mountain biking trails.
