Linville Falls Recreation Area Trails - Linville North Carolina Hikes

Surrounded by one of those periodic bulges in the narrow corridor of the Blue Ridge Parkway, Linville Falls is the high road’s biggest waterfall (by volume of water). This oft-photographed cataract gushes 100 foaming feet into the Linville Gorge, the USDA Forest Service wilderness canyon that lies below the falls. The Parkway’s easy National Recreation Trails introduce this wild chasm. Descriptions of the following trails are included: Duggers Creek Loop, Linville Gorge Trail, Plunge Basin Overlook Trail, and Linville Falls Trail.
