Millions of visitors enjoy the Blue Ridge Parkway each year. Some think of it as just a motor road or a pleasant drive. But the Parkway is also a place of varied and significant natural resources. Spanning the southern and central Appalachians, the Blue Ridge Parkway offers an exceptional glimpse of the regional flora and fauna. It is world-renowned for its biodiversity. The Parkway covers a wide range of habitats along the Appalachian Mountains, and some of these habitats are exceptionally rare. Visitors encounter unsurpassed diversity of climate, vegetation, wildlife and geological features. More information www.blueridgeparkway.org/

The Blue Ridge Parkway is a very short drive from our cabin! Expect to see stunning views around every corner. Water Rock Knob is only about A half hour away, and is the perfect place to stop, park the car, and have a beautiful picnic lunch with nearly 360° of gorgeous views. There is also a nice hour long hike (about a moderate difficulty level) to venture on from there.

Bordering McDowell County on its West side, the Blue Ridge Parkway is a fantastic drive that follows the ridge tops of the Appalachian Mountains with many spectacular overlooks, picnic areas and sights along its multi-state length.
