Linville Falls

Two main hiking trails lead to beautiful views of Linville Falls. Both begin at the Linville Falls parking area from the Blue Ridge Parkway spur road and pass through remnants of a virgin hemlock forest mixed with other familiar trees such as white pine, oaks, hickory, and birch. A colorful and varied display of wildflowers decorates the trails in spring. Red and golden leaves in fall beautifully contrast with the soothing green of hemlocks. Nearby, a campground and a picnic area make wonderful stops on any Blue Ridge Parkway adventure.

Go to our Linville Falls Trail Guide for more detailed information about the trails.

Note: Linville Falls visitor center and campground are closed due to damage from Hurricane Helene. Access to the trails is OPEN.
