Linville Falls

Note: Linville Falls visitor center is closed due to damage from Hurricane Helene. The Linville Falls campground and spur road are also closed.

The USFS gravel parking area is currently open. Find more information about accessing the trails here (see map from NPS.gov below).

Two main hiking trails lead to beautiful views of Linville Falls. Both begin at the Linville Falls Visitor Center 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.
