Why is Asheville so popular? Asheville is a popular destination because it is home to incredible mountain scenery, tons of outdoor recreation, and a huge beer and foodie scene. We have more than 1.5 million acres of public land, including Nantahala-Pisgah National Forest, Great Smoky Mountains National Park, the Blue Ridge Parkway and several state-owned parks, forests and natural areas. These public lands support the headwaters of our rivers, beautiful mountain vistas, one of the most diverse temperate forests on the planet, and a thriving economy in tourism, crafts and recreation.
