SYLVA

A charming downtown with a booming brew scene that TripAdvisor calls “One of the Top 10 American Brewery Tours,” this historic Jackson County mountain town has a distinct groove. Sylva serves as the county seat of Jackson County. Sylva was also named one of the “Top 10 Cleanest Cities in the US” by Expedia.com, due in part to its green and eco- friendly initiatives, including being a certified Tree City featuring a stunning Tree Walk that showcases over 50 different species of trees. • Explore the Jackson County Ale Trail and earn a free pint glass with the free Ale Trail Pass.
