Bat Cave — the local picture

What we know about working in Bat Cave, and why it matters for your garage door.

County & statusAn unincorporated community in Henderson County, part of the Asheville Metropolitan Statistical Area; it is not a CDP, so the 2020 census published no separate population for it.
ZIP & elevationZIP 28710; elevation 1,480 feet, on the floor of the Hickory Nut Gorge.
The caveNamed for a bat cave on Bluerock Mountain (also called Bat Cave Mountain) — the largest known augen gneiss granite fissure cave in North America, a protected area not open to the public.
River & gorgeLocated along the banks of the Broad River within the Hickory Nut Gorge, with several shops, inns and a post office.
Highway junctionThree highways merge here — US 64 from Hendersonville, US 74A from Asheville and NC 9 from Black Mountain — becoming Lake Lure Highway southeast to Chimney Rock and Lake Lure.
PreserveThe 186-acre Bat Cave Preserve was set up to protect the endangered Indiana bat and several other bat species that inhabit the cave.
HistoryThe Bat Cave Post Office opened in 1879; the post office and much of the community were destroyed in the flood of 1916 and later rebuilt, and the community became a popular tourist attraction in the 1920s.

Garage doors in Bat Cave

Bat Cave sits low for mountain country, at 1,480 feet on the floor of a narrow, steep-walled gorge, with the Broad River running beside the road. That riverfront setting puts moisture, flood debris and damp air against ground-level doors, bottom sections and opener electrics — the community was destroyed by the flood of 1916 and took significant damage again in Hurricane Helene in 2024. Homes and inns are strung along the single highway corridor rather than on level subdivisions, so approaches are often tight and sloped. A door here earns a careful look at its bottom seal and at rust on tracks and hardware after any high water.
