Biltmore Estate Trails and Gardens

Biltmore is a grand 250 room chateau in southern Asheville, surrounded by peaceful gardens and grounds designed by the renowned landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted. The 8,000-acre estate is a treat for running, with 22 miles of gorgeous trails through the gardens and along the French Broad River and surrounding forests. It’s a living masterpiece of landscape design.

Choose a route of your desired length and terrain, whether it’s the flat gravel Farm Trail along the river, or the estate views from the paved Lagoon Trail. See the Estate’s trails map for specific route options.

Notes: Running is not allowed on the paved roads of the estate grounds. Also, set hours and VERY STEEP admission fee required.
