Inside Nature's Playground: How Lake James is Bouncing Back after Helene

Recently partnering with Discover Burke County has been a true highlight, especially in this post-Helene season of rebuilding and renewal. It’s been inspiring to witness the hard work of the folks who make this such an incredible place to explore, from the water adventures on Lake James to the accessible Fonta Flora trails.

Equally rewarding was hearing the stories of local business owners and getting to experience their hospitality firsthand. Wonderful food, beverages, and people with a deep sense of pride in this community.
