Crabtree Falls Area on the Blue Ridge Parkway Reopens Nov. 10 for the First Time Since Hurricane Helene in September 2024
NORTH CAROLINA - The Blue Ridge Parkway announced on November 10 that parking and hiking access to the Crabtree Falls area have reopened for the first time since the trail was damaged by Hurricane Helene.
The National Park Service said the trail is located at the 339.5 milepost on the Blue Ridge Parkway, at the Yancey County and McDowell County line, and begins in the parking area for the old Crabtree Falls Camp Store. Because several bridges along the longer trail are still being repaired, the hike is currently an out and back hike.
In announcing the reopening, the Parkway thanked trail crews from Mount Rainier National Park and crews from the Carolina Mountain Club for their work. The Park Service advises checking its website for current trail conditions.
