Surry County, NC
With Dobson’s vineyards, Elkin’s vibrant arts scene, Mount Airy’s Andy Griffith-themed activities and Pilot Mountain’s abundance of outdoor experiences including Pilot Mountain State Park, Surry County has become a popular destination for day trips and weekend getaways. But it’s also a phenomenal place to live.
Residents love the county’s outdoor recreation options, from kayaking the Yadkin River to walking along the Elkin & Alleghany Rail Trail. Plus, the county is home to great schools, career opportunities and charming downtowns that draw people for food, fun and festivals.
Surry County prioritizes supporting local farmers and connecting residents with the men and women who grow their food. A great place to make those connections is at Surry County Farmers Market, which is held in Dobson, Mount Airy, Elkin and Pilot Mountain.
While residents can’t get enough of home and its calm, welcoming environment, the county’s location and transportation assets make traveling internationally or simply to places like the mountains or beach easy.
