On The Fly Guide Service is located in Marion NC (McDowell County) which is a great gateway to the mountains of North Carolina.

Being located half way between Hickory and Asheville along Interstate 40, the Marion, Spruce Pine, Little Switzerland Area makes a great "base camp" area for exploring the mountains of North Carolina.
