About Woodfin Valley Overlook
Woodfin Valley Overlook serves as more than just a scenic pulloff—it's a gateway to a hidden waterfall directly across the street that most visitors rave about. While the overlook itself offers pleasant mountain views (though one visitor noted they're somewhat limited), the real draw is the waterfall with trail access to both the top and bottom. The parkway setting provides beautiful vistas, particularly at dusk, making this a worthwhile stop along your Blue Ridge Parkway journey.
