is a small town located in the heart of the Tennessee mountains, along the Appalachian Trail. It is the county seat of Unicoi County, and sits just southwest of Johnson City, near the Nolichucky River and within the Cherokee National Forest. Sportsman and outdoor enthusiasts enjoy hiking, river and stream fishing, biking, horseback riding, golf and just being in the great outdoors surrounding Erwin, where the fresh mountain air is crisp and clean! White water rafting is also very popular in the rivers around Erwin, where the season generally runs March through August. One of the most interesting places to visit in town is the Erwin National Fish Hatchery, which produces up to 13 million rainbow trout each year. All phases of the fish breeding operations can be seen September through March. There is also a picnic area on the grounds. The Unicoi County Heritage Museum is also located in Erwin. This museum is inside a 90-year-old frame house and has old-fashioned country store exhibits, Blue Ridge Pottery displays and railroad memorabilia.

North Carolina has the greatest range of altitude of any state east of the Mississippi River, ranging from sea level along the Atlantic coast to 6,684 feet at the summit of Mt. Mitchell in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Latitude accounts for climatic variations, as does soils, plant cover and inland bodies of water. There is no distinct wet or dry season in North Carolina. Average snowfall in the southern mountains is around 16 inches, with some of the higher mountain peaks and upper slopes receiving as much as 50 inches per year. July is usually the wettest month. Summer rainfall is the most variable; daily showers are not uncommon, but periods of one to two weeks without rain are also normal. Autumn is the driest season, and also sees the greatest drop-off of temperature in the month of October.
