Blue Ridge Pkwy/Julian Price

I really enjoyed the walk, although it was quite long, about 5 miles. You have to cross streams all the time. I especially liked the waterfall with its huge rocks, which require some effort to climb.

This is one of our favorite places to go ever since my childhood and now taking our grandchildren. Picnic area is open and accessible and has been reasonably maintained. There is still damaged from Helene that has not been corrected and the bathrooms are not working. They do have porta johns that are clean but it is very surprising they have not made the repairs needed. The park service should definitely invest in making these repairs as soon as possible

Wonderful park with quaint picnic spots by the creek. Rented kayaks and enjoyed the two-hour trip around the lake.

July 19, 2025. Strange my review is centered around the restroom access. Park is ok if you don't need a restroom. Restroom buildings are closed. 2 port-a-johns - nasty. No toilet paper. We were disappointed. Bring your own TP. Front-load trash dumpster has a sign to latch it due to bears in the area. Latch broken. Door will open easily. Once these items are "fixed", it's a nice park.

Beautiful lake and .mountain views. Nice hik around lake, about 2 miles. There are some trees down, but they have been working on clearing the trail. Campground is closed for now (1 March 2025)
