Recommended starting point for the Price Lake loop trail is at the dam, crossing it and proceeding clockwise around the lake. The Boone Fork loop trail is accessed from the picnic area with recommendation that it is easier to follow clockwise. The Tanawha Trail along Grandfather Mountain passes under the Linn Cove Viaduct - and is part of Section 13 on the Mountains-to-Sea Trail.
Typical Conditions
The dirt path trails are in excellent condition as maintained by the National Park Service. Expect crowds during peak leaf season in October.
Fees, Permits, etc.
No permit or fee. The nature area closes at dusk.
