Welcome to the Transylvania County Parks & Recreation Website!

Transylvania County is the home of endless recreational opportunities.  Over one-third of the county's 379 square miles is comprised of National and State Forest land.  The Blue Ridge Parkway, the French Broad River and over 250 waterfalls are among the most popular tourist destinations in the eastern United States.  

The Transylvania County Parks and Recreation Department offers a number of recreational opportunities to our 29,000 residents.  The department maintains and operates seven parks in the county and offers numerous athletic, arts/leisure, and fitness programs available to people of all ages.
