Julian Price Memorial Park, National park on Blue Ridge Parkway, Watauga County, US.
Julian Price Memorial Park encompasses 4,200 acres of forest land with Price Lake, multiple hiking trails, and elevations from 3,000 to 4,000 feet.
The park was established in 1949 when Jefferson Standard Life Insurance Company donated the land originally purchased by insurance executive Julian Price in 1935.
The park's trails and gathering spaces serve as an educational center for nature programs, wildlife observation sessions, and environmental conservation initiatives.
The recreational area includes a 47-acre lake for fishing and paddling, seasonal camping facilities, picnic areas, and multiple marked hiking paths.
A concrete slab bridge spans the dam of Price Lake, creating an architectural feature that connects visitors to both water and mountain perspectives.
