Graveyard Fields

Blue Ridge Parkway valley with a short boardwalk-and-trail walk to Lower Falls and a longer loop to Upper Falls.

Park at the Parkway overlook near milepost 418.8. About 2/3 mile round trip reaches Lower Falls, and a 3.3-mile loop reaches Upper Falls through blueberry and wildflower balds. The NPS road status of October 31, 2026 lists the Parkway miles around the overlook as open; the page does not name Graveyard Fields, so check for closures before you drive. Expect crowds on weekends.
