Description

Ashe County Airport is situated between Jefferson and the New River and offers excellent opportunities to explore the outdoors within a short drive.

[New River Outfitters](https://www.canoethenew.com/) and [Zaloo's Canoes](https://zaloos.com/) provide rentals to float down the river. The New River provides fishing opportunities for small-mouth bass and stocked Rainbow, Brook, and Brown Trout.

The [New River State Park](https://northcarolinastateparks.reserveamerica.com/camping/new-river-state-park/r/campgroundDetails.do?contractCode=NC&parkId=552859) provides both primitive riverside camping and electric hookup non-riverside camping. Other campgrounds that are slightly longer distance from the airport are [Twin Rivers](http://www.twinriversfamilycampground.com/) and [River Country](https://www.facebook.com/rivercountrycampgroundandrvpark?mibextid=ZbWKwL), both of which also offer riverside camping and electric/water.

Drop in for a picnic, scenic view, or a short hike at [Mount Jefferson State Natural area](https://www.ncparks.gov/state-parks/mount-jefferson-state-natural-area).
