Brevard North Carolina.
  Nestled in the Southern Appalachian Mountains of Western North Carolina, lies beautiful Transylvania County. Literally meaning "across the woods", there is no more appropriate name for this area as the visitor is instantly awed by the intense foliage that dominates the County. Transylvania County is the home of the Cradle of Forestry, the site of the first forestry school in America, founded in the early 1900s. More than 50% of Transylvania County is covered by our three parklands:  Pisgah National Forest, DuPont State Forest and Gorges State Park. Our ideal location makes us the Gateway to Outdoor Recreation in the Southeast. Transylvania County, nicknamed the Land of  Waterfalls, is home to over 260 waterfalls.
