Sims Valley is located in the heart of the Western North Carolina Mountains near the well-established communities of Cashiers and Highlands. Serving as a very centralized location, it is only a 6-8 hour drive to over 25% of the South Eastern population.
There is a lot more adventure including river rafting, kayaking, golf, equestrian activities and boating on beautiful Lake Glenville or Sapphire Valley. Lake Glenville is the highest lake east of the Mississippi with an elevation of 3, 942’. The lake covers 1,500 acres and contains 26 miles of shoreline. Picnicking or camping in Lake Glenville's parks is a pleasant overnight option while shopping, dining and experiencing the arts and crafts in the mountain town is convenient. A wealth of natural mountain treasures from trails and waterfalls to wildlife and native flowers are also available outside of those in Sims Valley. The nearby "hike-in" Panthertown Valley is often called the "Yosemite of the East."
