Things To Do
Dry Falls
You can walk behind this 75' waterfall
Old Edwards Inn and Spa
The bar and restaurant at Old Edwards are fabulous as well!
Canyon Spa at Lonesome Valley
Lake Glenville Scenic Waterfall Cruises
Trip Advisor reviews from October 2021 all rave about the fall colors, beautiful waterfalls, and knowledgeable Captain Mark.
Highlands Biological Station
Nature center, botanical gardens, and educational resources - great for kids!
Whiteside Mountain Parking Area
This 2.5-mile moderate hike is worth the effort! Highly recommended on a clear fall day.
The Bascom: Center for the Visual Arts
Four65 Woodfire Bistro + Bar
Jono and I had lunch here when we were touring wedding venues and both loved every bite and sip! My highest recommendation! (Tip: we got there right after they opened and were seated immediately but the place quickly filled up)
Mountain Fresh Grocery
They have it all! Gourmet cheeses, wines, a deli, a bakery, and a grill. A must-stop on your way to picnic at a waterfall!
Kilwins Highlands
Gorges State Park
The hike to Rainbow and Turtleback Falls is a bit longer and more strenuous than Dry Falls and Whitesides, but it's completely worth it!! Jono and I have each put-in our kayaks in below this spectacular waterfall to paddle the wild whitewater of the Horsepasture River. (I may have decided to hike out above the really big class V...)
Wolfgang's Restaurant & Wine Bistro
A fantastic, high-end Creole-American restaurant in downtown Highlands.
Ristorante Paoletti
A fantastic, high-end Italian restaurant in downtown Highlands.
Cashiers Farmers Market
Brookings Anglers- Cashiers
Fly fishing in a mountain stream is a must!
