Graveyard Fields- Blue Ridge Parkway
Park
Why pick this one
Graveyard Fields offers a one-third-mile route to Lower Falls, a meadow loop to Upper Falls, and restrooms at Blue Ridge Parkway Milepost 418.8.
Best for
- short waterfall hikes
- longer meadow loop hikes
- summer swimming at Lower Falls
- early October fall color viewing
- wild blueberry gathering in August
Look elsewhere if
- camping at the trail is required, because camping is closed due to bear activity
- a quiet summer or fall weekend outing is needed, because the parking lot often overflows
- winter Parkway access is essential, because ice and snow can close this section
