Linville Hotel

Highlight • Pub

Linville has free camping and hot showers available. A good place to camp before tackling the constant ascent to Blackbutt. The ascent is not steep along the rail trail, but it is a constant pedal to get to the top.

Highlight • Historical Site

Great little museum showcasing some of the area's history, including a fair whack on Roy Emerson who was a Blackbutt native. The statue of him outside is quite something!

Pretty damn good! Another great bakery servicing the BVRT.
