There's nothing more pleasant than sitting on the banks of a river and watching the water as it makes its way downstream. Why not pack a picnic lunch and spend a quiet couple of hours at Linville River?
This flowing body of water is often on the itineraries of travelers to Altamont. But Linville River isn't the only drawcard here. Linville Caverns, Jonas Ridge Snow Tubing, and Linville Falls Winery are some other interesting sights close by.
