    Tips

    September 17, 2023

    The Oconaluftee River Overlook is the most southern official viewpoint on the Blue Ridge Parkway. At Milepost 468.4, it is the final stop of the parkway before reaching the National Park Boundary for the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. With all the lush growth, you can't really see the river, but you can see the healthy valley it helps supply.
