Lenoir
is a pretty town located in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains in Caldwell County, North Carolina. The population of the town is approximately 17,000. The town of Lenoir was named for General William Lenoir, who was a Revolutionary War figure and an early North Carolina statesman. His restored home is now a tourist attraction in the city. In 1986, Lenoir received the "North Carolina Main Street Designation," which signifies the town's efforts to maintain the downtown district's unique architectural and historic character. Lenoir hosts several special events throughout the year that is of interest to visitors. Those who love classic cars, trucks and motorcycles gather in the historic downtown on the first and third Saturday of each month, from May through November, for one of the south's most popular car shows. Other special events include the annual Blackberry Festival, a Christmas Parade and Santa on the Square. Lenoir has several parks and recreation centers that offer hiking trails, ball fields and basketball courts, tennis, playgrounds and picnic facilities. The town is also near the Wilson Creek Wilderness Area, a federally designated "Wild and Scenic River," that offers kayaking, fishing, tubing, mountain biking and hiking opportunities. The spectacular Blue Ridge Parkway and some of North Carolina's best ski resorts are just a short drive from Lenoir.

Lenoir Weather & Climate
|
|
|
|
The High Country in the Blue Ridge Mountains of western North Carolina has four mild seasons that help support the busy tourist trade. The mountain valley temperatures average 6 to 8 degrees cooler than the nearby Piedmont region in the summer months, and near the mountain peaks, it can be 10-20 degrees cooler. Moist southerly winds are forced upward in passing over the mountain barrier, causing showers and thunderstorms in spring and summer. Due to mild summer temperatures, the mountains have always been a welcome escape from the heat at the lower elevations. Summer nights are crisp and cool, but not too cold for camping or other outdoor activities. Although it does snow in the region, large amounts of snowfall and severe low temperatures are rare except at the highest peaks. Therefore most ski resorts use snowmaking equipment to ensure a reliable supply.
