Trish writes, "This place is a very well known attraction in the heart of Caldwell County, NC. Beautiful waterfalls and natural beauty and landscapes. The hurricane really tore this beautiful place apart. The beauty is that with the community and volunteers Wilson Creek is open for visitors again. The best fun and natural swimming area around. Rainbow trout are known to the biggest coming out of Wilson Creek." Comments | Permalink

Wendy Burt writes from her farm, "AAAAAACK! I’m dealing with hummingbird hysteria here on Melson Ridge! Somehow, I let 3 of the 4 hummingbird feeders go dry.

Growing Tourism numbers reflect what Kelly Caldwell and her family have spent decades building at Holmes Bend Marina. After one of the most difficult years in its long history in 2025 from flooding, the marina reopened this spring, 2026, with a sense of optimism. Early bookings for fishing trips and cabin rentals pointed toward a busy season, and Caldwell said visitors have once again been filling the docks. Comments | Permalink
