Where can I get gas on the Blue Ridge Parkway?
Common Question:
We are planning a trip traveling the Blue Ridge Parkway. Is gas available on the parkway and are exits appropiately marked for lodging and meals?
Answer:
Because the Blue Ridge Parkway is a national park and a senic by-way there are no gas stations located on the parkway itself, nor are there signs at the exits indicating the availability of gas, food or lodging.
One of the beauties and pleasures of the parkway is the fact there are no commercial signs and businesses cluttering up the serene landscape. Some commerical vehicles are not allowed on the Blue Ridge Parkway either.
With proper planning gas availability should not be a problem and is usually easy to find near the major intersections with state and federal highways.
