Outdoor adventures await you
Are you an outdoor enthusiast? Beech Mountain offers outdoor recreation for all ages.
Hike and mountain bike on over 27 miles of trails, each catering to varying skill levels. From serene forest strolls to invigorating climbs and jumps, there’s a trail for everyone. Beech Mountain Resort’s lift-assisted downhill mountain bike park offers terrain for beginners to the most technical riders and dizzying views from 5,506 feet.

Fishing more your thing? Beech Mountain is a fishing paradise. Buckeye Lake, Coffey Lake and Pond Creek are local favorites. Coffey Lake, designated as a delayed harvest trout water, receives an annual infusion of brown, rainbow and brook trout. Buckeye Lake is designated as a supported hatchery; Buckeye Lake also receives regular trout stocks. Visit Fred's General Store on Beech Mountain to pick up your fishing license.
The Buckeye Recreation Center features tennis, pickleball and basketball courts, a gym, playgrounds, hiking trails and lake access, including a free kayak loaner program. Visitors can get a day pass to the indoor recreation center for a small fee.
Summer is a family time
