JOIN THE MOVEMENT!

We’re delighted to announce that Haywood County is an official partner of the Outdoor NC Alliance! This partnership is driven by our passion to cultivate and promote accessible outdoor experiences, responsible visitation, and sustainable tourism. As the “Gateway to the Smokies,” it is our foremost responsibility to steward the preservation of our treasured outdoors for the generations to come. Our goal is to ensure our state remains the world-class destination we know and love, forever.

WHAT IS OUTDOOR NC?

Outdoor NC is a movement that is committed to promoting stewardship throughout North Carolina, inspiring everyone to not only experience the outdoors, but embrace and protect it as well. It provides a wide variety of resources to educate outdoor adventurers on how they can recreate responsibly, respectfully, and safely. As an Outdoor NC Alliance partner, we actively encourage everyone to join our collective movement to protect our beloved, shared outdoor spaces. Joining the movement is easier than you think. Protecting such a vast ecosystem can seem daunting, but every small action builds into positive, lasting change. Check out our Responsible Travel page to brush up on the 7 Leave No Trace principles and set yourself up for success as an outdoor steward.
