Outdoor Adventures Await
Are you an outdoor enthusiast? Beech Mountain offers outdoor recreation for all ages.
Hiking and mountain biking over 27 miles of trails, each catering to different skill levels. From serene forest walks to invigorating climbs and jumps, there’s a trail for everyone. The Beech Mountain Resort’s lift-assisted downhill mountain biking park offers beginner-friendly to technical terrain and soaring views from 5506’.

Is fishing more your sport? Beech Mountain is a fishing paradise. Buckeye Lake, Lake Coffey, and Pond Creek are the favorite fishing spots with the locals. Lake Coffey, designated as delayed harvest trout waters, receives an annual infusion of brown, rainbow, and brook trout. Buckeye Lake is designated hatchery supported; Buckeye Lake also receives regular stockings of trout. Visit Fred’s General Mercantile Store on Beech Mountain to pick up your fishing license.
The Buckeye Recreation Center has tennis, pickleball and basketball courts, a workout facility, playgrounds, hiking trails and lake access including a free kayak loaner program. Visitors can get a day pass to the indoor recreation center for a small fee.
