Waynesville is located about 7 miles northeast of the Blue Ridge Parkway, with several great hiking trails, overlooks and waterfalls within easy driving distance. Our favorite Blue Ridge Parkway overlooks in the area include the Cowee Mountains Overlook (Milepost 430.7), Standing Rock Overlook (MP 441.4), and the Woolyback Overlook (MP 452.3).

This historic road runs nearby. If you prefer to avoid the interstate, this provides a scenic way to travel.

Driving the Blue Ridge Parkway is easily one of the best things to do in North Carolina.. It’s one of the most picturesque journeys you can make in the entire country! Make sure to check out Sliding Rock at MM 411
