Not enough hours in a day to enjoy the Blue Ridge Mountains. Emerald Lake is right by the Bald Mountain Trail, and if you come at the right time of year, Toe River - South offers some great whitewater. The high level of rainfall makes Emerald Lake a rather wet place; throughout July this area sees the most rain, and October is the month with the least moisture.
