What travelers are saying

I love to take my dogs on the 5 mile loop trail, and the trees keep the path shaded and cool, even during the summer.

On this trail you can go down about 100 stairs to view some magnificent rock formations and really old unique trees along the Cape Fear River.

Anglers with a state fishing license will find such game fish as largemouth bass, bluegill, and catfish plentiful at the mouth of Campbell Creek and at a spot appropriately called Fish Traps.

Special State Par,

This is a great park to spend an afternoon. The trails are pretty well maintained though I would not recommend a stroller. One can hike up to 10 miles in the park. There are restrooms near one of the campgrounds, several places to deposit garbage,...More

Great Hike

Had a great time walking/hiking to the Raven Rock. You will need to climb down and up stairs to get to the rock. The park is dog friendly.

Campbell Creek Loop

Very nice 5.5 mile loop hike (with extension to the rapids) that took us about 2:45. The trail is well finished, but does have areas with roots. Easily walkable in light hikers, but we wore boots to protect ankles. The hike would be tougher in...More

Don't think so but if you call the Park Rangers can tell you. I know they had maps and a display in the welcome center that was worth spending time to see.
