Blue Ridge Parkway- Price Lake



At the parking lot, this sign gives you the history of how Price Lake Park came into existence.


A strange sight considering it was still August.


 A beautiful view is looking over the lake with the mountains in the background. 


Along the backside of the lake, you have a boardwalk that goes through a swampy area.


The view from the boardwalk bridge that crosses the Laurel Creek.




About a third of the way along the North shore of the lake, I encountered this boulder that looks (to me) like a large snakehead.



On the Northwest side of the lake, there is a campground that I hike through. The trail becomes a narrow asphalt path. 




A bridge over the Cold Prong Creek a quarter mile from the campground.




Shelf mushrooms on a tree trunk.



The damned up Boone Fork Creek is what creates Price Lake. This view is looking at the creek from the other side of the dam.
