 Welcome to our town... Sylva is a progressive small town in Jackson County situated amidst the Great Smoky Mountains. Our downtown, a
Main Street community, has many restaurants and shops along its tree-lined streets. Educational opportunities are virtually unlimited, with Western Carolina University only 7 miles away in Cullowhee, and Southwestern Community College in Sylva.
Recreational opportunities are numerous and diverse here. We have a state of the art playground designed by our children and built by the
community. The town owns a pristine tract of land, Pinnacle Park, that boasts hiking trails, waterfalls, and a town view from 5,000 feet. The Tuckasegee River is known for its whitewater and trout populations.
And the Great Smoky Mountains National Park is a 30 minute drive away.
Our most valuable assets are our people (2,509 strong and growing) and our wonderful Appalachian heritage. We encourage you to experience Sylva with us.
