Rugged mountain park with 80-ft. waterfall, 47 miles of trails, trout fishing & equestrian camping.

👍👍 This was an amazing overlook of the Linville Gorge. I don't know the history, but it looks like it may have been a 1930s CCC project, with beautiful granite rock steps leading to a walled overlook area. There is also is a modicum of public amenity at the top. Namely, there's a clean outhouse, and...

👍👍 A great place to visit! The green trail was a moderate trail a little over a mile long and there were several places to stop and see the falls from different view points. The red trail was harder. There were a decent amount of steps on the green trail. Nothing overwhelming, but if steps are hard for...

👍👍 The wife and I decided to do a little hike today to enjoy the beautiful Fall colors of the area. 🍂🍁 We traveled about an hour west from our home to Hawksbill Mountain Trail Head out of Morganton, NC. Our hike began at a trailhead off the gravel road, NC Forest Service 210, hiking southwest into a...

Large, lakefront park with swimming, camping, fishing & boating amid Appalachian Mountain views.

👍👍 Fantastic spot to stop and view the nearby mountains. Great place to have a picnic on the nearby tables as well. Amazing views here with refreshing breezes coming through. Great place to try and see the Brown mountain lights! Having lived near brown mountain years ago I always wanted to see the Brow...

👍👍 Beautiful pretty easy access. Started at the visitor’s center walked to the upper falls and then up the trail to see the overviews. John 3:16

👍👍 Great hiking area! And kid friendly. Get there early in the morning or you will sit on the road forever waiting for a parking spot. DO NOT go on holiday weekend. Our first time going was on Memorial Day weekend and it was insanely busy, our second time going was on a Saturday in October, but we stil...

Family-friendly snow-tubing park with an uphill conveyor belt, plus an indoor lodge with fireplace.

👍👍 Wow this was a beautiful hike. I have hiked many waterfalls but this one was definitely one of my favorites. When you pull into the parking area it seems to have a pretty large parking area. This trail is also a loop trail. There are 2 different trails leading off of the parking lot. The first i...

👍👍 My boyfriend and I were scrolling through google looking for a good hike with a rewarding waterfall to take a quick swim. We were more than impressed with this rigorous hike along so much land. Upon arrival we were pleased to see that there was an abundance of parking for a warm day at a state park...

This scenic gorge in Pisgah National Forest features rock formations, hiking trails & camping areas.

👍👍 I think this should be Shortoff Mountain Trail (which starts at the end of Wolf Pit Road). From what I could find, there's no such thing as Wolf Pit Trail. This hike starts out fairly steep. It cuts off to the right (follow the sign) and then there's a series of switchbacks to the top of the mounta...

👍 Very easy trail. Love the view of the lake half way through the trail.

👍👍 Such an amazing hike! I didn’t totally know that views we are available like this near Linville Falls. The important thing about this hike is when you come finally after 1 mile there will be a large rock do not keep going down to the right. That takes you down to the river. Make sure you go to the l...

👍👍 I was totally surprised by how much I loved this hike. First though let's talk about the road. The road was probably the hardest part! Rough with lots of rocks so it took us probably 30 minutes to go 5 miles until you get to the last 2 which is paved. The parking is large with also the Table Rock...

👍 I like the nature trails it has , I love taking my dog there , even has a nice water way along trail for your pet to have a drink or to cool off . Nice ball fields , playgrounds and covered shelter .

👍 Right behind the parking lot. The trailhead is behind the bathrooms. Beautiful, quaint waterfall. You will often be alone there because most people go to the Linville Falls.

👍👍 Nice place in the summer to see, when all this snow begins to melt, do ME a big favor. LIVE A LITTLE and go see it with your own EYES. Wildlife Haven, lots and lots of bird, geese, goose, ducks, baby duck ect. Deer, sometimes Even Ol Bullwinkle.
