Nice hike easy going

Perfect for kids

That hill was too big. You know which one Im talking about. Why not excavate that thing? Make it a little easier. Just a suggestion.

A great place for a weekend hike. You could take your dog, as long as they are leashed. It's a lush forest with excellently maintained paths. It can get a little busy on ... more

Paved trail that connects to ATT. Less crowd.

What a wonderful NC treasure! We are so fortunate to have the Rails to Trails program to enjoy our beautiful environment that is being encroached upon daily.

I'm glad they built this parking lot across from the park. Easy access to the trail. I use it often.

I've been boarding here for the past few months, let me just say, I have never felt more comfortable leaving my horse for a few days and knowing he will be in safe and lo ... more

Huge gym! Lots of bouldering as well as top rope climbing routes. Staff are great and so helpful!

Was a great ride the only thing really bad I can say about it is across the roadway to many times, and you have to really watch out for the cars, they will run you over

First 40% is on gravel trail, another 40% of forest path to get to river, 20% walking along river. Great rocky area to play in/near the river.

Great location, wonderful set-up with dry location, wood and flat camping sites. Lovely old spot just off of the trail. Thank you Ward Family.
