    Tips

    September 1, 2023

    At Milepost 308.3 on the Blue Ridge Parkway is the trailhead for a hidden gem in the Linville area. The trail to Flat Rock is short, shaded, and has an amazing viewpoint as the halfway point. The name "Flat Rock" is a pretty good representation of what you can expect at the viewpoint; a large, flat rock surface gives way to views of the surrounding mountains and Lost Cove Wilderness, Grandfather Mountain, and the rest of the Linville Valley.
