The sight of pretty Glassyrock Mountain near Jenkins Lake is brilliant; going for a hike on the Shortoff Mountain Trail is always a good adventure. This lake is so
 
               wonderful. Drift down the rapids of Tuckasegee River - West Fork in a kayak, and some of the water nearby flows, like Beetree Creek.
