TANAWHA TRAIL
 No
matter how many trails you hike on the Blue Ridge Parkway, you
experience something new and different. For example, hiking the
Tanawha Trail from Raven Rock Overlook to the Boone Fork Parking
Area (not to be confused with Boone Fork Overlook five miles ahead)
will, for much of the trail, give you a tropical forest feeling. Don't
let the fact that you have limited distance views discourage you
from hiking this part of the Tanawha Trail.
Shortly after half way to the Boone Fork Parking area, you'll pass a
footbridge. Continue up the path. You'll pass the Daniel Boone Scout
Trail at 2.6 miles. You should be aware that the Daniel Boone Scout
Trail requires you to have a permit (with a payment of a fee). Also
at 2.8 miles the Grandfather Trail Extension requires the same. As
long as you stay on the Tanawha Trail, no fee is required. Soon
you'll here the sound of the falls of Boone Fork. After crossing
over a majestic footbridge, take a right and continue for 400 more
feet to the Boone Fork Parking Area.
