POLK COUNTY

Each season will bring you new adventures in Polk County. In Tryon, Columbus, and historic Saluda we offer you wildflowers in the spring, cool rivers in the summer, brilliant colors in the fall, and warming fires in the winter.

These municipalities and six townships make up the heart of the 234 miles of rural Polk County.

Located in the central Blue Ridge mountains and foothills, the area is known for its mild climate due to the "Thermal Belt." Warm air settles and moderates the year-round temperatures, cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. This phenomenon allows for outdoor activities and events to be enjoyed throughout the seasons.
