About Us
We’re the Southeast’s leader in providing access to your public lands through exceptional recreational experiences. Join us on the journey…
FIND Outdoors is a 501c3 non-profit organization based in Pisgah Forest, NC, and just outside of the beautiful mountain town of Brevard. Home to our very own ‘white squirrels’, Brevard is the gateway to Pisgah National Forest and serves as a staging area for hiking, camping, waterfall-searching, restaurants, art, music and so much more. Looking for info for your next visit to our area? Check out Explore Brevard and get ready to dive into the heart of adventure!
We are FIND Outdoors, and that’s exactly what we help people do. We inspire people to connect with nature through well-managed outdoor recreation sites, campgrounds, visitor centers, guided tours, and educational and outdoor opportunities for all ages and abilities. We also manage retail outlets that offer forest-related gifts and souvenirs, nature-based activities for children, local crafts, and trail guides.
Our Mission...
is to promote educational, recreational and interpretive opportunities about forest and water resources, natural history, and the Cradle of Forestry in America.
Our story is rooted in education about the FOREST.
Our passion is to help people become INSPIRED.
Our goal is to help people connect with NATURE.
Our drive is to help people learn through DISCOVERY.
