Welcome to the Breaks Visitor Center — your gateway to everything this incredible park has to offer.

Whether you need directions, maps, or want to learn about the park’s rich ecology and history, our friendly staff is here to help. Inside, you’ll find trail guides, maps, and a small museum highlighting the Breaks’ fascinating geology, culture, and wildlife.

Browse our selection of souvenirs and outdoor gear, then step outside to explore exhibits that bring Appalachian history to life — from the hand-hewn Counts cabin to our replica moonshine still.

The Visitor Center is also home to our educational programs, offered weekly throughout the season to help you discover even more about this one-of-a-kind park.

Start your visit here and experience why the Breaks is truly where nature and community meet.
