Blue Ridge Parkway Lodging, Restaurant & Gift Shop Information

2011 Blue Ridge Parkway Concessions Directory

Every year in March, the National Park Service announces the opening and closing dates and hours for lodging, restaurants, and gift shop facilities on the Blue Ridge Parkway.

If you find this page seems "out of date," you may be viewing it before the announcement has been made. Generally the opening and closing dates are the same for the month, with the individual dates and hours of operation varying slightly from year to year. You may find this helpful if you are planning a trip on the Blue Ridge Parkway a full year ahead of time.

Below you will find the most recent Blue Ridge Parkway openings. Sometimes individual Parkway facilities will announce their opening schedule at a later time, and those have been noted with a "TBD."
