Location: North Carolina
Directions: This waterfall is at mile post 316.4 off the Blue Ridge Parkway. Take the road to the Visitor's Center parking lot and the trail starts to the right behind the building. After 0.4 miles, you'll reach a trail sign, head left to the first viewing area of Linville River which offers a view of the small double falls above the main falls. Take the stairs back to the trail sign and walk straight ahead for another 0.3 miles for a view of the main falls. Total hike is a moderate 1.5 miles to both overlooks and back.
