Asheville Hike Finder

Every trail around Asheville has its own way of pulling you in—up to a ridge, along a river, or into a stretch of quiet woods where the forest sets the pace. The question isn’t whether there’s a hike for you here. It’s which one fits the day.

Use the Hike Finder below to sort by difficulty, distance, or proximity to downtown, then follow what catches your eye: the steady rush of a waterfall, wildflowers along the trail, or long views across the Blue Ridge. If you’d rather not overthink it, our Asheville Hiking Guide highlights well-loved routes for all kinds of explorers.

Please note: Mountain trails change with the seasons, weather, and time. We update the Hike Finder regularly, but conditions can shift quickly, especially after heavy rain or storms. Before heading out, click through to individual hike pages for the latest details, and check recent reviews on AllTrails for real-time insights from fellow hikers. Follow posted signage, respect any advisories, and use your best judgment on the trail.
