Helene Storm Recovery

Helene Recovery Beech Mountain


Beech Mountain is very fortunate to have been spared the worst impact of Hurricane Helene in late September 2024. Thanks to the tireless efforts of utility and construction crews, firefighters, town employees and volunteers, our town is bouncing back quickly. We reopened to visitors in November and had a fantastic winter ski season. Please be patient as we still have many repairs yet to complete – including several of our hiking trials and town streets.

While the North Carolina mountains are facing years of rebuilding, the generosity, resilience and spirit of its people cannot be broken. We look forward to the day when every community can stand strong again. Beech Mountain is excited to welcome visitors once again, and the town’s proirity is for all to have a safe and pleasant visit. To that end, please consider the following recommendations.

The main roads within the Town of Beech Mountain are open to travel, while some secondary roads remain under repair. Please drive cautiously and obey any posted road signs.

Several of our hiking trails have suffered damage and should be avoided. Please check with the Beech Mountain Visitor Center (stop by or call 800-468-5506) for information on trail closures.

Thankful for the generosity of our residents, friends and strangers. Thankful for the countless volunteers and crews who came together to help. Thankful for the inspiring spirit of our community and neighbors in the High Country. Thankful for your support which makes all the difference in our ability to remain a vibrant and thriving community.
