The moment you enter McAdenville, you will see a town that is built on community, where the living is easy, neighbors become friends and memories last a lifetime. At first glance, McAdenville may seem like an ordinary small town in America, but what separates McAdenville from the rest is the sense of pride in its rich history and faith in its future. With unique restaurants and shops joining the picturesque Historic Downtown, to river access and trails, there has never been a better time to visit.
Community leaders believe that McAdenville has the natural resources and small-town charm to become a new North Carolina hub for outdoor pursuits like hiking, kayaking and mountain biking. The park will continue to grow over the years, with the vision of connecting its trails to the Carolina Thread Trail, a network of greenways and blueways that link 15 counties in North and South Carolina. The park trails will ultimately connect seamlessly with an already existing two-mile stretch of the Carolina Thread Trail that runs through McAdenville.
Situated within 1.5 square miles of historic charm, McAdenville is proof that the best things really do come in small packages. McAdenville is a village with a heritage of tenacity and faith in what it was, is, and will be. Our town represents what can happen when the willpower of hard-working people, the vision of enlightened collaborations, the leadership of corporate stewards, and a compassionate caring, community of co-workers, families, friends, and neighbors come together for the betterment of a community.
Each season just west of Charlotte, the quaint town of McAdenville becomes a Christmas wonderland. Almost overnight, the vibrant little town transforms into Christmas Town U.S.A.®, attracting visitors from across the country.
