In the very heart of North Carolina, Silver Creek is conveniently located to some of the state's most outstanding outdoor recreational areas.

For boating and fishing enthusiasts, picturesque, 6,500 acre Lake James is only four miles away. The lake is located at the mouth of Linville Gorge one of the largest, national wilderness areas east of the Mississippi and an area providing outstanding hiking, fishing, camping and mountain scenery.

Only a mile from I-40 exit 98, Silver Creek is an easy 20 minute drive from Hickory, with its furniture outlets, 45 minutes from Asheville and the Biltmore Plantation; and less than 60 minutes from the transportation, cultural and sporting center of Charlotte.
