Sparta NC is located in the northwest Blue Ridge Mountains
between the New River and the Blue Ridge Parkway. Sparta and all of Alleghany County offer scenic vistas, unspoiled
landscape and friendly folk. At the crossroads of two
of the county's main corridors, US 21 and NC 18, Sparta NC is the physical
and community life center for Alleghany County. Like many southern towns, the
Courthouse is the focal point of downtown Sparta. The original business district
maintains the charm of the town's early history. |

Sparta NC Attractions |
New River State Park - Rugged hillsides, pastoral meadows
and bucolic farmlands surround what is believed to be one of the oldest rivers in North
America - the New River. Its waters are slow and placid. Its banks are fertile and covered with wildflowers. Dedicated as a National
Scenic River in 1976, this gentle river is the centerpiece of New River State Park. |
 Stone Mountain State Park is not immediately
visible upon entering the park that bears its name, but this
magnificent 600-foot granite dome is well worth the wait. Sunlight
and shadows dance across a broad tapestry of stone. Test your fly-fishing techniques in more than 20
miles of designated trout waters. Or, with more than 16 miles of
trails, take a hike in the park. Designated as a National Natural
Landmark in 1975, Stone Mountain is bounded on the north by the
Blue Ridge Parkway and on the west by the Thurmond Chatham Game
Lands. |
