Blue Ridge Parkway News
Springtime 0n the Blue Ridge Parkway
Springtime is a grest time for a picture-perfect drive along the Blue Ridge Parkway.
The Blue Ridge Parkway provides an excellent location for wildflower walks in the springtime. May is probably the best month for wildflowers. Look for Rhododendron in mid June!
A drive down the Blue Ridge Parkway is slow paced and relaxing. Almost any overlook or trail will reveal much of the natural and cultural history here.
The Blue Ridge Parkway information line at (828) 298 0398 is the best up-to-date list of road closures and other park-related information.

Imagine waking in the morning to the sounds of nature.
Flowing streams, birds singing and the gentle footsteps of Whitetail deer comprise this symphony as the sun comes over the mountain filtering through the hemlocks, pines, maple, and oaks. |
Mornings at Lake Forest Cabins are a special time. Whether you decide to walk one of our scenic nature trails abundant with wildlife, feed the fish and duck at the private lake or take your coffee on the front porch overlooking the ridge line alive with the vibrant colors of fall, it's the perfect beginning to your day.
Afternoons can be spent picking apples and pears from our small lakeside orchard, shopping in historic downtown Spruce Pine, mining for emeralds at one of the area gem mines or just relaxing in the hammock under the trees with a good book.
Evenings are perfect for enjoying the lakeside picnic area as dinner is being prepared on the grill. Savor a glass of wine under a spectacular sunset of reds, yellows and oranges.
After dinner, take one last stroll around the lake as night falls.
