    Tips

    Cycling

    It is 5km off the Parkway but worth taking side trip.
    It is one of the main attractions in the area so could be a bit busy.
    There is whole hiking trail system that will require 2-3 hours to see all angles and areas around the falls.
    I did the main one that took less then hour, I hike fast.
    Visitors center has all the info, maps and souvenirs. Entrance is free.
    Clean washrooms and water on site. No food.
    Enjoy and respect. Thanks

    Stunning views of the Upper and Lower Falls from the trails in the park.
    There is also an information center and camping.

    Hiking

    The three-tiered Linville Falls is among the most popular waterfalls in the Blue Ridge Mountains. While climbing on the rocks and swimming are prohibited, the views are well worth the hike.
