NEW TRAIL: 18. 18 & Life

This trail is the perfect beginner introduction to loamy trails, with a bit of off camber mixed in. It presents great opportunities to work on your breaking zones and line of choice. Plus, it's smack in the middle of mountain hub, so you can get in maximum laps.

Grab your bike, grab your friends, everyone is doing 18 & Life at Watershed.

FREE LIVE MUSIC at Watershed! We’ve got two opportunities to get your groove on in Old Fort this July, and the first one is rapidly approaching. Join us this Saturday, July18th, from 5-7pm for FREE live music from Hiram 👇

Hiram is a family band that have grown up together writing, picking, and singing songs. They played their first gig together in downtown Gastonia where local legend David Childers opened for them. From campfires, to concert halls, & bars they have been playing together 15+ years.

Red Brandenburg holds it down on the bass, Grayson Drum swaps between the fiddle and mandolin, while Jacob Clawson & GG Hellderman accompany each other on guitar. They all share the mic weaving harmonies on each other’s tunes.

And SAVE THE DATE, on Saturday, July 25th from 4-7pm, catch a FREE show from Suns of Stars:

Orbiting around Asheville's grateful music scene since late 2023, Suns Of Stars blends contemporary and traditional bluegrass with a high energy jam style. At its core lies the trio of Alex Bazemore (guitar), and Asheville's own Jackson Chisholm (upright bass) and Johnny Humphries (mandolin), son of local Bluegrass legend Don Humphries. As Suns Of Stars has been gathering momentum they've picked up Alex Ball (fiddle) and Jason Flournoy (banjo).

Suns Of Stars members are all hometown heroes in various musical projects around town which has led to great turnout at their shows. That, along with a massive song repertoire and growing list of original music make for a unique performance each time.

As always, we'll be providing great food, cold beer, and impeccable vibes, so bring the crew!
