Please go spend a day here if you’re in the area.

🚂 There's never been a better time to visit the Copper Basin. 💙

As the train rolls back into downtown McCaysville and Copperhill today, our community is excited to welcome visitors and locals alike.

Stroll the charming towns, discover unique stores, enjoy a delicious meal, sip a refreshing drink, and experience the warm hospitality that makes the Copper Basin so special.

While many businesses have reopened and are ready to welcome you, others are still working toward reopening after the recent flooding. You can make a difference simply by spending the day with us—or by purchasing a gift card from a business that's still preparing to reopen.

Every visit, every meal, every purchase, and every act of support helps our small businesses continue their journey forward.
