There are a few places in the world that still stand apart from the
ordinary. Rising more than a mile high, surrounded by the gentle mist of
low-hanging clouds, Mount Mitchell State Park is one of these
extraordinary places.
In the crest of the timeworn Black Mountains
lies the summit of Mount Mitchell, at an elevation 6,684 feet it is the
highest point east of the Mississippi. For those who ascend this mighty
peak, what looms in the horizon is a feast for the eyes--breathtaking
views of the Blue Ridge Mountains, rolling ridges and fertile valleys.
Forested and forever misty, 1,946-acre Mount Mitchell State Park will
provide you with some of the most tranquil moments you'll ever
experience. Mount Mitchell State Park Website
