Town of Pilot Mountain, NC

Welcome

The Town of Pilot Mountain is home to Pilot Mountain State Park, which is a remnant of the ancient Sauratown Mountains. The Saura Indians who inhabited the area knew Pilot Mountain as Jomeokee, the “Pilot” or “Great Guide”. The Cherokee Indians eventually drove the Saura Indians out of the area.

Pilot Mountain became the 14^th State Park in 1968 when it was purchased from Mrs. J.W. Beasley. Pilot Mountain State Park is made up of 3,703 acres of land, which preserves the natural resources of North Carolina.

Today thousands visit our rapidly growing town and state park. Admission to the park is free with an elevation of 2420 feet.

The Town of Pilot Mountain is best recognized as "Mt. Pilot" from the Andy Griffith show. Andy made numerous references to travel to this wonderful place the locals simply know as "Pilot". You too can visit Pilot and its wonderful people and attractions.
