"Pisgah National Forest is located just outside of Asheville and serves as a point of access to the Blue Ridge Parkway. The lush green forests, streams, and waterfalls, which can be reached through any number of hikes, are breathtaking. For an educational visit, the park’s Outdoor Learning Center offers many free exhibits, classes like photography, and the chance to explore historic cabins. A picnic is always a good idea, but the forest is not far from Asheville and other small towns." - MATADOR_NETWORK
