As an introvert who is not fully afraid of heights (there is a limit), this is the perfect place to be early in the morning. It was a beautiful day, lots of sun, but chilly. In November, it is a great idea to take a jacket and gloves. I had the place to myself, which was awesome. I didn't hike the trails, but I am guessing it would be lovely to do so. If you own a nice camera that takes awesome shots, bring it with you. I used my cell phone, but wished I had a good camera. Cell phones do not do justice to the awesome beauty. The road is narrow, 20-25 miles per hour. Trust, you will not really want to drive any faster. I love the mountains, but I would not live up there. The houses on the side of the mountain, man, that is crazy. That is the limit I spoke about at the beginning of my post. Not living up there. Otherwise, it is worth the drive if 3,100 feet above sea level doesn't disturb you. Just beautiful is all I can say. Makes me know that someone more powerful than human beings created this earth. It did not just show up out of the blue. Thought went into this.

Jump Off Rock is located just five miles from downtown Hendersonsville. It's open all year, sunrise to sunset, and located in the town of Laurel Park. Admission is free. After you take a curvy mountain road up to the 3,100-foot summit, you'll find a small park with a stone overlook, benches and several short hiking trails. It's a short, level walk to the view, so a great place for those with mobility issues to enjoy similar summit views that hikers enjoy. A sign helps you identify mountain peaks like Mt. Pisgah and Cold Mountain. I'm told it's a popular place to watch the sunset. It's certainly a romantic view, complete with a tragic legend of a young Cherokee Indian maiden receiving word that her young Indian chief had been killed in battle. So she climbed to the edge of the rock and jumped off. On moonlit nights you can supposedly see her ghost on rock. I tried to get my wife to do what the sign ( and legend ) said...but she replied, "You first!" Hahahahahaha! 😂 Head's up: There are no restroom facilities here, so plan ahead!

This spot at the end of a residential winding and climbing 2-lane road is well-worth the drive! The parking lot appears before you and is dotted with signs directing you to the trailhead, noting that alcohol is prohibited and the history of the rock. Park your vehicle and step out onto the asphalt lot. Take a seat on one of the benches on the lawn to enjoy the spectacular view. If more physically able, carefully make your way across the uneven top of the rock outcropping to the steel railing to claim a spot closer to the splendor. Whether the sun is high overhead or setting before you, the view of the Blue Ridge mountains and the surrounding towns. Whether trekking alone, with friends/family or with the one you love, this sight and location are must-seez. You'll find yourself planning your return before you've even left.

I had heard about this place for years but had never visited. I happened to be on the west side of Hendersonville and decided to take a little side adventure. I must say that the GPS takes you seemingly all over the place through Laurel Park before finally getting you there. The small park is well manicured and attractive and the view is quite nice, although I prefer capturing the view by including the rock itself, which in my opinion is much prettier than the view by itself. Some trees are growing up below the cliff which tend to limit the view somewhat. I hiked the blue and red trails which I would rate as moderate but short. There is a nice diversity native plant species which makes the hike a little more interesting, particularly for the wildflower enthusiast.
