👍👍 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...

👍👍 We took our son for his birthday and had a great time! The staff is fun yet professional. All of the hard work is done for you, just sit and zip! Our guides were exemplary.

👍👍 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...

👍👍 Stop here! Walk! This is the best turn out we have seen between here and Ashville! Do not do like most people who we saw pull in, turn around, and go out! Just because you don't see the view from the large parking lot with picnic tables, it is worth getting out. Don the paved path is a split in...

👍👍 The hike down and up is so worth the waterfall experience! Beautiful scenery. Paved parking pull off at the top of the trail.

👍👍 We live just a few miles from the falls and we visit them often. The hike to the falls is quite easy and the falls themselves never disappoint. The trails are well kept and the observation points are perfectly situated. Don't forget to check out the views of the Linville Gorge while there. The r...
