About
Off the beaten path, Flat Rock Trail is one of the parkway's hidden gems. This short, easy .6-mile loop trail offers views of interesting trees, plants, and fascinating geological features called "bathtubs." Once you reach the top, you'll see that Flat Rock lives up to its name. There are numerous large, flat rocks made of quartzite from which you can enjoy sweeping panoramic views of Grandfather Mountain and Linville Valley below. Less crowded than other trails, Flat Rock is the perfect place to bring a picnic, sit on a rock, and enjoy the peaceful setting. The trailhead begins in the parking area. Stay to the left and hike the path clockwise, following the yellow arrows once you get to the top to complete the loop.
