The Linn Cove Viaduct is a 1,243 feet (379 m) long, concrete segmental bridge which snakes around Grandfather Mountain in western North Carolina. Completed in 1983 at a cost of $10 million, it was one of the last major construction projects on the Blue Ridge Parkway which runs 469 miles (755 km) linking Shenandoah National Park to Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Built mostly along the spine of the Blue Ridge, the parkway was fully completed and opened for through traffic in 1987.Arrange your visit to Linn Cove Viaduct and discover more family-friendly attractions in Seven Devils using our Seven Devils tour planner.

Our family drove on the Blue Ridge Parkway over Labor Day weekend and one highlight of the trip was visiting the Linn Cove Viaduct. The scenery is amazing and the bridge is an architectural marvel...

It's a legendary Viewpoint. Great views of the mountains, just down the road you can see the viaduct itself. I made sure to get plenty of pictures myself. There is a parking area just down the road to easily access all features.

Best time to travel is during the week days. Weekend is way to packed and people parking where they shouldn't be and cars getting stuck in ditches....
