Just five miles from the start of the scenic Blue Ridge Parkway, Humpback Rocks captures the natural beauty and mountain heritage that defines this iconic route. Hike to the Humpback rock outcroppings or explore authentic 1890s farm buildings, carefully relocated during Parkway construction to preserve history. Begin at the visitor center, where exhibits dive into mountain life’s resilience and charm, and chat with a ranger to get insider tips.
As part of the Parkway project, historic buildings from surrounding areas were gathered and placed at Humpback Rocks Mountain Farm, creating a captivating window into early mountain life. Just a short walk from the visitor center, this farmstead comes alive in the summer with knowledgeable staff and open buildings.
