Doughton Park, Recreation area at Blue Ridge Parkway, North Carolina.
The park extends over 30 miles of trails through highland meadows and mountain slopes, with elevations ranging from 3,500 to 4,000 feet.
Robert L. Doughton, a North Carolina congressman, supported the establishment of Blue Ridge Parkway in the 1930s, leading to the park being named after him.
The Brinegar Cabin displays historical exhibits and maintains a demonstration garden showing how early mountain families sustained themselves in the Appalachian region.
The camping area contains 135 designated sites equipped with tables, lantern posts, campfire rings, and access to flush toilets and water facilities.
Basin Creek Trail guides visitors to the century-old Caudill Cabin, requiring a full-day journey through the remnants of Basin Cove settlement.
