A hike with a great view
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 04/17/05
This is a great place to see nature at its best. The water fall is excellent. There are several different views and trails for viewing. No bad views from any of them. Only problem is that to hike all the trails would require a lot of time and endurance. The trails are of gravel, roots, dirt, and grass so wear boots or shoes with ankle support. If you love a good hike and the outdoors this is for you. Just remember to bring some bottle water and the trail mix you may need it.

Great views and hiking
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 09/10/04
Linville Falls is the most accessible attraction in Linville Gorge, but other parts of it offer even more spectacular scenery. Wiseman's View, Table Rock, and Hawksbill Mountain are only a few of them. Most of the gorge is a designated wilderness area, so the hiking is great, although many of the trails are strenuous.
