About Connelly Springs

Connelly Springs is a quiet community located right between Morganton and Hickory in the North Carolina foothills. Once a nineteenth-century stagecoach stop and mineral spring resort, the town today offers a relaxed, rural feel with quick commutes along Interstate 40 and Highway 70. Lake Rhodhiss and the Catawba River line the northern edge of town, making it easy to get out on the water for fishing, boating, or paddleboarding. For anyone looking for scenic foothill living, affordable space, and a friendly, small-town pace, Connelly Springs makes a comfortable place to settle down.
