Trail Description:
The Tomkins Knob Trail is a very short trail, just a few hundred feet through the woods that also looks accesible easily from the Blue Ridge Parkway road, so I believe persons in wheelchairs could access this quite easily. There are three structures located here, the Jesse Brown Cabin, The Cool Spring Baptist Church (shown above) and some type of spring. Very cool!
Length of Trail:
500ft (to cabin)
.5 to Cascades Parking Area
Rating of Difficulty:
Easy
Scenery:
Worth the Stop!

Tomkins Knob Overlook
Elevation 3657 |
Directions to Trail head:
From Blowing Rock / Boone (heading North): Blue Ridge Parkway to mile marker 272.5. Parking area will be on your right. If you actually drive past the cabin (you will see on your right) you went too far.
Special Notes:
- By parking / pulling off the actual Blue Ridge Parkway to the grassy area around the cabin, this should be easily wheelchair accessible.
