Step up and take in a view so stunning it'll steal your breath—75 miles of rolling Blue Ridge Mountains, the deep-cut beauty of Hickory Nut Gorge, and the shimmering expanse of Lake Lure. And that’s just the beginning. This park isn’t just about looking; it’s about feeling. Hike up to the tallest waterfall in any NC State Park, let the mist kiss your face, and remind yourself why nature always wins. And when you’re done soaking it all in? Swing by the entrance for a little retail therapy and a bite to eat, because beauty and good food just go together."
