Julian
Price
Memorial
Park
is
an
absolutely
spectacular
park
right
outside
of
the
town
of
Blowing
Rock
off
the
Blue
Ridge
Parkway.
There
are
several
places
you
need
to
stop
along
your
scenic
drive,
and
I
would
say
this
is
one
of
them.
Itβs
stunning
in
autumn,
but
still
incredibly
beautiful
in
summertime.
Julian
Price
Memorial
Park
features
Price
Lake,
a
picturesque
mountain
lake
where
visitors
can
walk
around
the
perimeter
on
trails,
kayak,
and
more
(with
free
parking,
as
an
added
bonus).
There
are
restrooms
(port-a-potties)
and
really
neat
rock
outcroppings
you
can
walk
to
that
allow
for
some
privacy
away
from
where
others
are
walking.
There
are
also
numerous
campgrounds
nearby
with
all
the
amenities
youβd
need,
and
many
more
hiking
trails
within
the
park
itself.
Just
down
the
road
from
the
lake
is
Wylie
Creek
that
has
tons
of
parking,
grills,
and
beautiful
creeks
that
run
all
throughout
the
area
for
kids
to
play
in.
If
you
visit
on
a
holiday
like
4th
or
July
or
Memorial
Day,
youβll
see
hundreds
of
people
all
gathered
together
with
their
families,
having
BBQs,
kids
playing
in
the
rivers,
and
itβs
just
a
really
nice
time.
There
are
many
different
places
worth
seeing
here
at
the
Julian
Price
Memorial
Park,
so
your
best
bet
is
to
book
a
couple
of
nights
at
a
hotel
near
Blowing
Rock,
and
then
explore
both
west
and
east
on
the
Blue
Ridge
Parkway
to
see
all
of
what
the
Appalachian
Mountains
have
in
store
for
you.
This
is
one
of
the
most
beautiful
areas
in
the
entire
United
States!
