The ‘Boros celebrated as an official North Carolina Trail Town destination

The Wilkes County Tourism Development Authority has announced Wilkes County’s inclusion in the Official North Carolina Trail Town Guide as an Outdoor NC Trail Town destination. This prestigious designation highlights the community’s dedication to preserving natural beauty, cultural heritage, and fostering a strong sense of place for residents and visitors alike.

The newly launched North Carolina Trail Town Guide features 15 destinations across the state, each committed to responsible travel and outdoor recreation. The guide is a comprehensive resource for outdoor enthusiasts, offering a variety of trails that cater to all abilities, including hiking, biking, paddling, and more. From the Blue Ridge Mountains to the Atlantic coastline, these trails showcase North Carolina's diverse landscapes and rich cultural experiences.

Wit Tuttell, executive director of Visit NC, commends the 15 destination partners for connecting visitors and residents to experiences that reflect a strong sense of place.

“With the guide, trip planners will learn that more than the ocean makes our coast memorable, more than rivers and roads wind through the Piedmont, and more than peaks reward mountain getaways,” Tuttell said.

“The Trail Town Guide also underscores the strides destinations have made toward making the experience accessible to anyone who wants to engage with history and culture as well as the outdoors. As a prime example of our Trail Towns’ dimensions, Wilkes County shares its unique story with stops on the NC Moonshine & Motorsports Trail.”

Wilkes County’s inclusion in the guide marks a significant milestone in our ongoing efforts to promote sustainable tourism. Also as a featured destination on the NC Moonshine & Motorsports Trail, Wilkes County offers visitors a unique blend of history, culture, and outdoor adventure.
