Graveyard Fields Overlook overview
Graveyard Fields Overlook
One of the main reasons to visit the Graveyard Fields Overlook is to take in the breathtaking views. From this vantage point, visitors can see the nearby Blue Ridge Parkway and the Great Smoky Mountains in the distance. The overlook is also a great spot for photography, especially during the fall when the leaves change color.
Another unique feature of the Graveyard Fields area is the unusual landscape. The area gets its name from the large number of tree stumps and logs that litter the ground, making it appear like a graveyard. This is the result of a logging operation that took place in the early 1900s, and the stumps have since been weathered into interesting shapes and patterns.
Visitors to the Graveyard Fields Overlook can also access hiking trails that lead to two nearby waterfalls. The first, Lower Falls, is a 30-foot cascade that is easily accessible from the parking area. The second, Upper Falls, is a more challenging hike that offers stunning views of the surrounding forest.
Overall, the Graveyard Fields Overlook is a must-see destination for anyone visiting the Pisgah National Forest. With its stunning views, unique landscape, and access to hiking trails and waterfalls, it offers something for everyone.

Responsible visitation & Leave No Trace
- Know before you go
- Check the operator's site (BLM, NPS, state agency, or private owner) for access rules, permits, and seasonal closures before driving out.
- Stay on trail
- Many points of interest sit in fragile ecosystems. Stick to marked paths to protect vegetation and prevent erosion.
- Respect wildlife
- Observe from a distance, never feed wildlife, and give nesting birds and denning mammals plenty of space.
- Pack it in, pack it out
- Take all trash, food scraps, and gear back with you. Remote sites often have no trash service.
- Leave what you find
- Don't take rocks, plants, fossils, or artifacts. Federal law protects cultural and natural resources on public land.
