Review:
Bakersville is a charming small Appalachian mountain town in Mitchell County, North Carolina, located approximately one hour from the cities of Asheville and Johnson City.
The town, which was originally incorporated in 1870, serves as a popular gateway to the nearby Appalachian Trail and the Blue Ridge Parkway, with excellent fishing and watersport opportunities offered due to the town's designation as a Mountain Heritage Trout City.
Though the town is home to a population of less than 500, it is known as a world-class art community, with top regional galleries showcasing the works of hundreds of local artists. Other attractions include the beautiful Rhododendron Gardens and the picturesque heights of nearby Roan Mountain.
