    Hiking

    Lunch Rock is actually the official name of the viewpoint on the Mountains-to-Sea Trail. The rocky outcrop is situated above the Haw Creek Valley overlook on the Blue Ridge Parkway. There are a couple different directions from which you can approach the Lunch Rock area, but it still isn't the busiest spot on the trail in the area.
