Our gratitude for our fire and rescue crews is immeasurable. The past six months have been exhausting, trying, and heavy on all of us—but especially on these heroes on the front lines.
We hope the rain continues this week to help with the fires throughout the region.
We are raising funds through the end of the week to support the Connestee, Cedar Mountain, and Rosman Fire Departments. Thanks to your generosity, over $1,400 has already been raised! If we raise enough we would like to extend donations to other fire stations in our county!
You can donate directly to these organizations or contribute via Venmo (@Headwatersoutfitters), or drop off cash donations at @highland_books or our shop.
Thank you all for your incredible support!
A special thanks to @realdigitalproductions for helping us gather some photos from our friends at @islandfordadventures and spread the word!
Awesome day on the water last week with a fantastic corporate crew. Good grub, great fishing, great vibes. Message us for info on our group outing options for the next team bonding retreat!

Friday Morning Update:
Our shop will be opening by 9am this morning to give us time to check in with staff. @stoneflycoffee will be open and the @forksoftherivertaproom with @levislunchbox will be operating on normal hours unless conditions change or staff need to leave.
Transylvania County is under a state of emergency. Please be aware of what is going on within our communities. Stay away from evacuation areas and do not add to any road congestion to these areas. Many of our public land have closures including the Blue Ridge Parkway, DuPont State Forest and Headwaters State Forest. We are using the following maps to stay up to date:

Be mindful. Respect Burn Bans. Allow all local resources to focus on this increasingly significant situation. Another very dry day with poor air quality.
We are accepting donations that will be directed towards our local fire departments and our friends at @cedarmountaincafe who are feeding as many frontline workers and volunteers as possible. We also have a drop off bin for needed supplies - Bandanas, burn cream, chapstick, toiletries, lotion, socks. We will update this list in our story as needs come in.
Thursday Update:
Continued dry conditions in our area. Our hours will be adjusted for tomorrow once we check in with all our staff. If you have a trip booked with us, your guide will be calling you with updates. Our main priority is the safety of our family, staff and community. Thank you for understanding. Please continue to pray for WNC and Upstate SC.
