Both the Cone and Price lands were later given to the Parkway. Today the combined parkland comprises the largest developed area along the Parkway. It offers a wide variety of recreational activities, including miles of hiking and horse trails, boating and fishing, camping and picnic areas, mountain handicraft demonstrations and sales, and daily guided walks and evening campfire programs. It has sites for 129 tents and 68 trailers. Facilities include water, comfort stations with flush toilets and sinks but no showers or hook-ups.
Several sites are handicap accessible.
Interpretive talks are frequently given during the summer on the steps of Flat Top Manor. The Southern Highland Craft Guild operates the Parkway Craft Center inside Flat Top Manor that features contemporary and traditional mountain crafts as well as demonstrations by Guild craftsmen during the summer months. Interpretive talks, demonstratons, and guided walks are also given throughout the Cone and Price Parks during the summer months. There are more than 26 miles of historic carriage roads for hiking and horseback riding on the Cone estate. Visitors may bring their own horses or take advantage of trail rides offered on the Carriage Trails by neighboring Blowing Rock Stables.
