Spring and summer guests of Cedar Village will find the weather perfect for enjoying Beech Mountain's 18-hole golf course, eight daytime tennis courts, and pool. In the area, you can enjoy fishing in a lake stocked with trout, canoeing, white-water rafting, and horseback riding. Downhill skiing is the number-one pastime in the winter-there are five ski areas within 10 miles. Ski Beech, a half-mile away, is the largest. Year-round, you can spend hours browsing through the many local crafts shops.
