Fall Foliage Hikes

- Explore endless backcountry trails at Panthertown Valley in Nantahala National Forest. Plan your route using the helpful resources from the Friends of Panthertown.
Cashiers Valley Leaf Festival
Plan your vacation around the annual Cashiers Valley Leaf Festival in October. This free event will bring 100 artisans to the Village Green, showcasing their unique handcrafted wood, pottery, and jewelry. Shop for local goods while enjoying live music, food, and drinks.
Fly-Fishing
Fall is the best time of the year to go fly-fishing in Cashiers. As the temperature drops in the water, you can expect more active fish, longer feeding periods, and lengthier fly hatches. To find the best local fishing spots, we recommend enlisting the help of a local guide from Brookings Fly Shop.
Shadow of the Bear
One of the most unique fall experiences near Cashiers is the Shadow of the Bear phenomenon. From mid-October through early November, a bear-like shadow appears on the face of Whiteside Mountain. Witness this unique natural phenomenon from the Rhodes Big Overlook on US Highway 64 this fall.
