The Mountain Heritage Trout Waters Program was established by the General Assembly in 2007 as a means to encourage trout fishing as a heritage tourism activity. Participation is limited to cities and towns that provide public access to trout waters which are currently in the North Carolina Wildlife Commission’s trout management program and which run through or adjacent to those cities or towns. Both Spruce Pine and Bakersville, along with Maggie Valley, Waynesville and Newland, have been designated as part of the pilot program.
