Things to Do in Waynesville by E-Bike
There’s no shortage of things to do in Waynesville, and exploring by e-bike helps you see more without sacrificing comfort. Whether you’re here for the weekend or just a quick day trip, here are some of our favorite e-bike-friendly adventures.
1. Cruise Downtown Waynesville
Start your ride with a trip down Main Street, home to locally owned shops, restaurants, and galleries. The slower pace of a bike allows you to soak in the atmosphere, stop for a coffee, or pop into unique boutiques like Twigs & Leaves Gallery and Olde Brick House.
2. Ride to Lake Junaluska
Just a few miles from downtown, Lake Junaluska is a peaceful retreat with a paved 3.8-mile loop trail around the lake. It’s a perfect route for e-biking, with plenty of scenic viewpoints and picnic spots along the water.
Whether you’re out for a relaxed morning ride or want to catch a mountain sunset, this ride never disappoints.
3. Take the Waynesville Arts Loop
Want to blend art and adventure? Ask us at Appalachian E-Bikes for a self-guided Arts Loop Map — a curated route that takes you past murals, sculptures, and outdoor art installations scattered around Waynesville. With an electric bike, you can easily cover more ground and spend less time navigating parking or traffic.
Day Trips from Waynesville: Head to Maggie Valley
A short (and scenic) ride west brings you to Maggie Valley, one of North Carolina’s most iconic mountain towns. With our E-bike rentals in Maggie Valley, you can experience its rustic charm, open-air beauty, and roadside attractions without being confined to your car.
1. Cruise the Blue Ridge Parkway
One of the biggest perks of renting from Appalachian E-Bikes is how close we are to the Blue Ridge Parkway — America’s favorite scenic drive. But instead of experiencing it through a windshield, why not feel the breeze in your face?
The stretch between Maggie Valley and Waterrock Knob offers stunning views, winding curves, and multiple scenic pull-offs. Thanks to pedal assist, even the toughest inclines are enjoyable.
2. Ride to Soco Falls
Just a few miles from Maggie Valley sits Soco Falls, a hidden double waterfall tucked into the forest. The ride there offers mountain views, fresh air, and just the right amount of adventure. Park your bike and walk the short trail to the viewing platform — it's the perfect combo of pedal and pause.
3. Stop at Local Legends
Whether it’s a pit stop at Joey’s Pancake House or exploring local history at Wheels Through Time Museum, your e-bike gives you the freedom to enjoy Maggie Valley’s attractions at your own pace. And yes — we’ll help you map out your perfect route based on your interests.
