Well-protected, rarely explored, and full of wild plants and animals, Linville Gorge is a 7,610 acre tract operated by the USDA Forest Service. Part of the National Parks Program, the reserve was expanded to include an additional 550 acres courtesy of J. D. Rockefeller. Formed by the Linville River, the gorge varies in elevation between 1,600 and 4,030 feet.
