May 7 That Dam Mural

 


Freshly painted by impressionist artist Eva Crawford of Charlotte, this mural was a joint project of Klondike Cabins, Grassy Creek Winery and the Elkin Valley Trail Association. Its grand opening was just a few weeks ago. 


A very pleasant trail through Mountain Laurel and alongside Grassy Creek lead you to this magnificent artwork. The century old dam backs up a small pond adjacent to the Klondike Cabins. The easiest way to get to the dam is from Grassy Creek Winery. A kiosk and trail signs assure that you don't get lost. It is about a 15 minute walk. The Forest Bathing Trail goes right alongside the dam and has a nice viewing area.  


The waterfall seems to resemble nearby Carter Falls. The mountain could be Wells Knob which is also nearby.
