An entire day and then some can be well spent in Julian Price Park. For detailed information on hiking trails and camping we recommend checking out the National Park Service page located here. To our south lies Grandfather Mountain with hiking and views for miles. Just to our north is historic downtown Blowing Rock with dining and shopping. Price Lake has two designated parking areas to enjoy views and recreational activities. If you're traveling to Price Lake heading south, you will cross over the dam, pass the Julian Price Campground, and then you will see a sign telling you to turn left for boat rental and amphitheater. Price Lake Boat Rentals is located in that parking area, along with the free public boat launch.
