Lake James is one of the state's nicest and purist bodies of water in the state of North Carolina.
I have been kayaking here for years and hiking
nearby trails around Table Rock NC, Grandfather Mountain, Linville, Gorge NC
and Snake Mountain NC. This western part of the state provides some
unbelievable mountain views and great places to paddle a canoe or kayak. A
weekend adventure or even a full day will reveal some of the hidden secrets
which have cast a many a spells on visitors and locals alike. This area at
times seems almost untouched. Even today there are trails and areas, which are
unmarked and provide a quiet, relaxing place to gather your thoughts before
returning to the overloaded world of plugged-in technologies.
Lake James NC offers nice camping sites, lots of
kayaking opportunities and places to take some really cool photographs of your
solo or family trips. The local eateries also provide some incredible 5-Star
meals, everything from homemade country cooking to the European influenced
tastes of Ireland, Scotland, Germany and England. One of my favorites and a
must-visit for all coming to the area is Downtown Delights in Valdese NC. It's
perfectly situating on main street in downtown Valdese NC and easy to reach by
way of I-40 west. Make sure you either stop in on your way to Lake James NC or
on your way back, you won't be disappointed, everything is homemade and
reflects tastes as far away as Ireland and the ivory coast.
