Linville Falls
Linville Falls is probably the most famous waterfall in the Blue Ridge. The trails include four overlooks to the waterfalls. Trails lead to the breathtaking three-tiered Linville Falls over the Linville Gorge. Please note that swimming in the Linville River and climbing on the rocks is dangerous and therefore, prohibited.
Two main hiking trails begin near the Linville Falls Visitor Center and lead to views of Linville falls. Both pass through remnants of a virgin hemlock forest mixed with other familiar tree species 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. The Linville Falls trails range in difficulty from moderate to strenuous.
