NOTICE: THERE ARE PLANS TO PERFORM CONTROLLED BURNS IN LINVILLE GORGE. PLEASE SEE SAVE LINVILLE GORGE WILDERNESS. The Linville Gorge Wilderness is a Federal wilderness area in western North Carolina managed by the US Forest Service. This website is intended to gather and share information on Linville Gorge hiking and backpacking. The site contains collections of gps waypoints and gpx discussion of all aspects of Linville Gorge, along with a special section on trails which is a front end for our trail database. We are continually gathering new data about Published as well as unpublished Linville trails. The Gorge is a mecca for campers, hikers, climbers, scramblers and simply anyone who loves nature and being in the great outdoors. This is rugged country, with something for everyone. There are many hikes that take you to the Linville River for fishing, camping, more hiking, or just listening to the water and soaking your feet. Other trails follow the cliff edges with fantastic views of the river valley and the opposite cliffs. The east and west ridges are dotted with many small canyons to explore. These contain interesting creeks, canyon Linville Gorge will keep calling you back so be prepared to spend some time there. Feel free to use this website to learn all you can about. WE HAVE RECEIVED NEW INFO FROM CHRIS BLAKE THAT CABIN TRAIL IS NOW OPEN TO THE OLD CABIN SITE ON CABIN HILL. ------------------------- Friends of Linville Gorge has a website covering the amazing biodiversity of the Gorge, especially its endangered species.
