A wooded, rural neighborhood surrounds Lake Julian, complete with fantastic mountain views and winding country lanes. But the lake itself is the star of this neighborhood -- it is a popular destination for boating and fishing. Lake Julian Park is located on the banks of the 300-acre lake, providing a picturesque location for picnics and games like horseshoes and sand volleyball. Visitors can rent paddle boats or use the boat launch, or they can enjoy this popular fishing location's abundance of crappie, bass, catfish, tilapia, and brim. Lake Julian Park is on the north side of the lake.
While Lake Julian feels like a lakeside retreat in the Smoky Mountains, this cozy neighborhood is also convenient -- it is about nine miles south of Downtown Asheville and less than five miles north of Asheville Regional Airport. Shoppers appreciate the nearby Biltmore Park Town Square, a mixed-use development offering a variety of shops and restaurants. More shops and restaurants are available along Hendersonville Road in the Lake Julian neighborhood.
