Where can I find gas and food options along the Blue Ridge Parkway tour?

Along the parkway, access to gas, food, and water is limited, so plan ahead. You can access gas and food in Spruce Pine (halfway) and in Blowing Rock. You can also grab a bite to eat at:

However, most of these restaurants are only open seasonally.

If you decide to pack a lunch, you can choose from several beautiful picnic spots along the way at designated picnic areas or on a sunny rock outcrop at one of the lookouts. Crabtree Picnic Area is a popular spot for lunch, and most tables come with a view!
