    Hiking

    Point Lookout Trail is a heavily used, paved path traveling on the north side of Swannanoa Creek. Much of this trail is tucked away in the trees and offers shade during the warmer months. There are multiple viewing areas of the Blue Ridge Mountains and plenty of wildlife to be seen, including both flora and fauna.
