North Carolina’s iconic state park! The trails in this park bring visitors to some of the most incredible views and places in the nation. The trails range
in difficulty, but generally require some measure of physical fitness due to the steep terrain.

Here’s a list of the trails at the park…

Great Woodland Adventure – Kid-oriented fun and educational trek through the woods.
Four Seasons Trail – Challenging 0.6-mile long trail with 400 feet of elevation gain
Hickory Nut Falls Trail – A 0.75-mile long trail culminating at the bottom of the 404-foot Hickory Nut Falls.
Exclamation Point Trail – Mostly a stair climb starting from the chimney leading to several unique vantage points including the Opera Box and Exclamation
Point
Skyline Trail – 1.1 additional mile trail from the end of the Exclamation Point Trail to the top of Hickory Nut Falls.
