Connellys Springs North Carolina Real Estate

Approximately 60 miles from the bright lights of Charlotte and 40 miles from the highly developed amenities of Gastonia, the small community of Connelly Springs is a charming residential village with superb recreational attractions.  The sprawling natural paradise of South Mountains State Park makes this hometown setting ideal for the outdoor adventure and the nature enthusiast.  With 14 miles of trout streams and 48 miles of trails designated for mountain bikes, horseback riders and hikers, this area accommodates family and group camping as well as equestrian camping.  Remarkable features within the park include High Shoals Falls on the Jacob's Fork River, sending a torrent of water 80 feet over a cliff of bare rock.  The nearby City of Valdese provides a major healthcare institution, retail centers, recreational facilities, entertainment centers, restaurants, and cultural attractions.
