Things To Do
Downtown Sylva
Voted one of the best courthouses in America, Downtown Sylva is a must see when visting. Check out the Hallmark-esque town while walking around with a pint in the Sylva Social District, listening to live music in the park on Friday night, and eating/shopping local. You might even recognize some scenes from the movie "Three Billboards outside Ebbing, Missouri".
Innovation Brewing Company
Our FAVORITE local brewery! Grab a pint and sit outside while listening to live music. The Cosmic carry-out food truck in the back has the BEST burger you will ever eat. The bride and groom recommend Spaceman or Soulvation on tap. There is also a second brewery location with more outdoor space in Dillsboro.
Dillsboro Rafting Company
A fun and easy tubing and rafting trip right in the middle of town. Great for all ages! (Maris worked here for 1 day during her high school summer hehe)
Deep Creek Tube Center & Hiking Trails
Deep creek is super fun if you want something outside of a typical rafting trip. Rent a tube on the way up the drive and follow the signs to the top of river. Also, an easy and beautiful hike with a waterfall if you don't want to get in the water.
Great Smoky Mountains Railroad Depot
Jump on the Great Smoky Mountain Railroad in Bryson-City (one town over from Sylva) and ride through the mountains. You might even see the infamous railroad crash from the Movie "The Fugitive". Clickity Clack Ridin the Track!!
