Downtown Sylva offers shops, dining, drinks, experiences, and accommodation - all walkable on foot! Stroll through town with a social district beverage or your furry friend. The town offers poop bag stations throughout, and a doggie water fountain at the corner of Main and Spring. Many of our small businesses allow you to bring your pet inside (please ask for permission first) and some offer treats and menu items just for the pups. Locals and visitors alike enjoy a walk through town for exercise, or the challenge of climbing 107 steps to the top of the most photographed courthouse in the state of North Carolina (our public library). The reward of a stunning view of the town amidst a beautiful mountain backdrop. If you are into history or art, pick up a guide at the Jackson County Chamber and Visitor Center on Main Street or click below to get information about our Heritage Walk and Art Stroll.
