Note: Waterfalls
are dangerous. We have many accidents every year where people have
fallen, frequently to their deaths, because they ventured too close
to the edge or, worse, attempted to climb them.
Please be careful so
you - and your family - can enjoy your stay and have many pleasant
memories in the years to come. |

Crabtree Falls
(Milepost 339.5)
At Crabtree Meadows at milepost 339.5 of the Blue Ridge Parkway,
you're in for a vigorous 40-50 minute descent down the
mountain to the Falls. Crabtree Meadows has a snack shop,
gas station, shop with film and other tourist items and the
National Park Service maintains an extensive picnic area for
your convenience. Your view of the falls is at the base
looking up. It is impressive, especially in the Spring
during the snowmelt and rains.
