Paint Rock is a small place in Madison County, North Carolina, in the United States. It's called an "unincorporated community." This means it's a group of homes and businesses, but it doesn't have its own local government like a city or town.
The name "Paint Rock" comes from a mountain nearby. This mountain is right on the border between North Carolina and Tennessee.
Paint Rock is located next to the French Broad River. You can get there by taking Paint Rock Road. This road connects to bigger roads like US 25 and US 70. A train track, the Norfolk Southern S-Line, also goes through this community. Paint Rock is also considered part of the larger Asheville area.
