About Haywood County, NC

The leaf colors are changing rapidly this week, and the leaves on the trees on this creek in Maggie Valley were spectacular a couple of days ago. The weather has been warm this week, and we have had more rain, so many leaves are falling off the trees (and I'm having to rake my yard again). Perish the thought.

Here is a collection of some of my Fall 2009 photos taken in and around Maggie Valley and Waynesville in Haywood County, NC.

If you are planning to visit Maggie Valley and/or Waynesville and are wondering about the recent rock slide and how it might affect how you get here, here are alternate routes with maps.

On the 'want’ list of the majority of home buyers when they come to Haywood County is: home on a creek. NOTE: no water flows into Haywood County. Each and every creek, stream and river in the County actually originates in Haywood County.

Listen (on the video) to the reason many people want to live on a creek. (Video filmed Sunday, October 25, 2009, in Maggie Valley.)

Here’s a map showing the creek I videoed that runs parallel between Moody Farm Road and Soco Road.
