Clyde is a small town located on the banks of the Pigeon River near the Pisgah National Forest and the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. It is known as a place to really “get away from it all,” with a low cost of living and an even lower crime rate. The town lies in the midst of some of the country’s most gorgeous mountain scenery, with easy access to I-40 and the town of Asheville just 40 minutes away. Clyde is near several golf courses, hiking trails, horseback riding, whitewater rafting, and superb trout and bass fishing. Nearby Maggie Valley is home to the Cataloochee Ski Slopes, and many public and private campgrounds can be found in the forested mountains surrounding Clyde. Other nearby attractions include the popular Smoky Mountains and the towns of Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge, Dollywood, Cades Cove, the Cherokee Indian Reservation, Blue Ridge Parkway and Biltmore House Estate in Asheville. If you are looking for a place with gorgeous mountain views, a peaceful, small town atmosphere and friendly people – a place that isn’t too isolated from all of the national parks’ attractions and outdoor recreation – the town of Clyde makes the perfect base for your next North Carolina vacation.

Clyde Weather & Climate

The weather in Asheville and the surrounding areas is hard to predict. The city of Asheville sits in a valley at about 2,200 feet and is surrounded by mountains of more than 6,000 feet in elevation. Temperatures usually run 10 to 25 degrees cooler in the higher elevations than in the city. Spring has mild days and cool nights with some rainy days. Summer is warm and humid with scattered afternoon thunderstorms. Temperatures rarely rise above 90 degrees in this region (or above 80 at elevations of 5,000 feet or higher.) Conditions cool down a little by October, and that is also the best month to view the spectacular fall foliage. In winter, the high mountains protect the city and outlying areas, so there is seldom a major snowfall. Highs run in the 40s and 50s.
