Few private communities, or public parks for that matter, can rival the hiking trails at Connestee Falls. Over 14 miles of private hiking trails are maintained by volunteer trail stewards. They range from easy to strenuous and wind through and around the community’s many nature areas offering views of creeks, waterfalls, lakes and mountain vistas.

The trail system is extensive and quite elaborately planned and maintained including parking areas at main trailheads. An online guide to Connestee Falls’ Trails includes interactive maps, videos, photos and tips on hiking. We believe it’s one of the best private trails systems in the country.

And that’s just within the gates. Transylvania County offers 81 hiking trails.

In fact, there are hundreds of miles of trails throughout the region to discover and explore when you live at Connestee Falls.
