Lane Pinnacle is a 4.1 mile lightly trafficked out and back trail located near Weaverville, North Carolina that features beautiful wild flowers and is rated as moderate. The trail is primarily used for hiking, running, nature trips, and bird watching.
This is a challenging but not too long trail with breathtaking views. The climbs begin early and there are amazing overlooks throughout. Users will find beautiful flora, and in some parts hike through meadows in the middle of the woods. Beware that there can be slippery rocks and a fair amount of mud. Traveller tip: get a takeout lunch at Well-Bred Cafe in Biltmore Village, bring some camp chairs and make it a lunch date at one of the several lookouts.
February 6, 2021Sections of the Blue Ridge Parkway were closed, so we tried an alternative route get to the trail head via Stoney Fork Road, but that didn't work either. Stoney Fork Road is closed about 4 miles before the trail head.
January 16, 2021Just tried to hike this. However, the gate was closed about four miles before the trailhead. Just FYI for anyone else interested in this hike
January 3, 2021This is a lovely little gem not far from town! Trail is muddy and very narrow so wear appropriate footwear and be considerate of social distance. You usually won’t see many other hikers though, which is why I love it!
December 31, 2020Very intense, very muddy but besides all that the views were amazing and you can not drive to trail head roads were completely iced over
November 29, 2020Great hiking!! Wonderful views. One section is very narrow cliff walking. Good workout but my 8 yr old girl completed it just fine. Last Saturday in November, not crowded at all and it was a beautiful 60* day. Lots of roots and stones so wear sturdy shoes, but also several sections of smooth walking. Happy hiking
November 28, 2020November 28, 2020Great elevation climb. Steady. Beautiful views. Narrow in a short section, can get muddy.
November 27, 2020Tight and muddy but overall well marked and a great hike
November 27, 2020November 27, 2020Great views! Muddy and narrow in parts. Steep at times.

I started at the directions provided and registered 4.6 miles. Endless views. It would make more sense to park at the pull over described below as the extra mile doesn’t provide anything except exercise not more views. I would rate this more on the difficult side comparing it to some of the other ratings all trails provides.
