Hiking
Green Knob Overlook is located at a well-marked pull-off on the side of the Blue Ridge Parkway. There is trail access leaving the parking area, but most people use the pull-off just to take pictures of Green Knob and Mount Mitchell to the northwest.

Located at Milepost 350.3 on the Blue Ridge Parkway, Green Knob Overlook is one of the many nearby summits you can see from the overlook. This is one of the most notable views on the section of the parkway close to Mount Mitchell. The expansive viewpoint is actually in the Hollywood movie Last of the Mohicans.
