Cumberland Knob

Name: Cumberland Knob
Address: Blue Ridge Parkway Mile Post 217.5, Ennice, NC, 28623, US
Telephone: (800) 372-5473

Located near the North Carolina-Virginia state line, Cumberland Knob was the site where construction of the Blue Ridge Parkway was started in 1935 as a part of President Roosevelt’s Civilian Conservation Corps. It was, therefore, the first recreation area to be opened to the public, and is still a favorite destination for both locals and visitors. The mixture of lush woodlands and open fields, housing a variety of birds and other wildlife, is ideal for leisurely walks or a more demanding hike to nearby Gully Creek.
