Linville Falls

A short trail from the Parkway visitor centre leads to several overlooks. The upper falls come first, then the main plunge into the gorge a bit further on. The lower overlooks are steeper, so pick the ones that suit your legs.

Good to know

• Go early in summer, the car park fills by mid-morning
• The Erwins View overlook is the best single shot of the falls
• Parkway section can close in ice or snow
