    Tips

    June 21, 2023

    Along with adequate trailhead parking, restrooms, and a picnic area, Beaver Dam Gap Overlook features a viewing area of the lush valley below. The name for the overlook comes from Beaver Dam Creek, which flows from the gap down to the French Broad River. It's located at Milepost 401.7 on the Blue Ridge Parkway.
