Blue Ridge Parkway Hikes - Mt. Pisgah Picnic Area Hiking Trail
Review of Mt. Pisgah Picnic Area Trail
.3 mile, round-trip **Easy
Mount Pisgah's picnic area, an excellent place to eat, is only a
short hike from the parking lot. From the parking area, you have
two choices to get to the picnic tables. One way is to go up the
trail to the right of barricaded road. This is the shortest way,
but it is also the steepest. Another option is to take the loop
trail (behind the gated road).
This is a more gradual ascent, something you'll appreciate if you
have a lot of food. Shortly after leaving the gate, you'll come
to an intersection in the road. Do NOT follow the road to the
left, but go up the paved path to the right. Very soon you should
start to see picnic tables. The trail continues clockwise around
the picnic area.
On the Blue Ridge Parkway, the Mount Pisgah picnic area is one of
the best, and normally it is not even crowded. There are plenty
of grills and tables. Also available are water fountains and
restrooms. This is an excellent place to take your charcoal and
grill your own specialties.
