Three Top Mountain Game Lands

Named for its three prominent rock outcroppings, Three Top Mountain supports a variety of recreational opportunities, as well as rich ecology and abundant wildlife. 

Hunters can take advantage of a 3,100 acre game land, hikers find rugged trails and hidden waterfalls, and in the spring birders can enjoy nesting songbirds like the rose-breasted grosbeak.  BRC helped expand the game land and assisted the state in adding a new recreational access area.

Three Top is part of the amphibolite mountain group, an unusual mountain chain containing a calcium-rich rock rare in the southern Blue Ridge. This group includes Elk Knob, Snake Mountain, Mount Jefferson, and Bluff Mountain. 

Please be mindful of hunting seasons and regulations when visiting Game Lands. More information can be found through the NC Wildlife Resource Commission including a map of the game land.

Three Top Mountain is also home to a wealth of rare plants; please be mindful not to trample or disturb the natural areas.
