The Linn Cove Visitor Center is located at mile 304.4 on the Blue Ridge Parkway. The visitor center is located between Blowing Rock and Linville in North Carolina on the southern slope of Grandfather Mountain. The small center has an information desk, a model of the Linn Cove Viaduct under construction, book store, and rest rooms with potable water. A large, paved parking area contains one section for cars, vans, and SUVs and a second section for buses and recreational vehicles. The 13½ mile Tanawha Trail passes through the parking lot.
