Hiking
Standing at an elevation of over 4,000 feet, Hawksbill Mountain offers panoramic vistas of Linville Gorge, Table Rock and the surrounding Pisgah National Forest. Its name comes from the distinctive rock formation resembling a hawk's peak.

Hiking
Last third of the ascent is steep and in places technically difficult. The views at the top is more than rewarding.
