Glassmine Falls Overlook can be found at Milepost 361.2 on the Blue Ridge Parkway. The overlook can be a bust if there haven't been any recent rains, as these falls depend heavily on precipitation. That being said, it's totally worth the stop when the falls are flowing. You view them from pretty far away, and the sign states that they are nearly 800 feet high.

Lake Louise Park offers a sense of nature while being tucked away between Interstate 26 and the town of Weaverville. The park features a paved walking path around the lake, which crosses over bridges, visits a waterfall, and gets the chance to view lots of different wildlife. The trails at this park are beginner friendly and easy to navigate.
