Blue Ridge Parkway
Linville Falls, NC

The Linville Falls are a beautiful series of dramatic falls that drop to a deep gorge, accessed by a trail lined with rare virgin stands of white pine and hemlock. The area around the falls is one of the few places in these mountains where the rosebay, Catawba, and Carolina rhododendron grow side by side. Hiking trails provide access to excellent views and a picnic area and campground adjoin the Linville River on the parkway. The rugged Linville Gorge Wilderness Area adjoins the falls.
