According to the Asheville Citizen-Times, officials have closed the picnic area due to bear activity in the area. I can vouch for that – on a recent family trip to the area, we witnessed a bear chase a family out of their picnic site and chow down on their food, still hot on the grill. The closure is expected to last until at least next weekend, but call the Parkway at (828) 298-0398 for updated information.
