About Doughton Park/The Bluffs, Milepost 241, Laurel Springs, N.C.

Appalachian history comes to life among the ridgetop meadows and steep mountainsides of Doughton Park. Hike some of the 30 miles of trails here or visit Brinegar Cabin, a well-preserved piece of early mountain life. Doughton Park is also home to the iconic Bluffs Restaurant, which has welcomed generations of travelers to the Blue Ridge Parkway for more than 60 years. Milepost Music concerts are held the second and fourth Sunday of the month in the picnic area across the street from the Bluffs Restaurant.
