Dont believe the official park propaganda that reads "11 miles of trails". Its a 2 mile loop, that has a bunch of very short connectors scattered around. Its like me claiming I have eleven miles of trails on my front lawn just because if you zig zag across it all day it will eventualy total 11 miles. Its nice enough if all youre looking for is a 45 minute stroll, or if you have children younger than seven, but Id have never drove to it if it wasnt for the false advertising. I give it two stars for wasting my time.

I dont have any idea what this place is really like, cause Im usually there at or after closing time, but I LOVE the walking trails! Theyre clearly marked, and its nice to be able to get onto the Greenway or to wander through the more woodsy trails around the lake. Very dog-friendly and feels safe. The trails are on Google Maps, too, which makes navigation super easy.

Many trail marker posts were pulled out of the ground. A couple foot bridges need repair as do a number of benches. The water from the fountain at the snack area tastes awful. The trail we took was pretty tidy and of moderately easy difficulty at a little less than 3 miles round. A few nice views of the lake that had geese.

Many miles of well maintained trails, some paved, many dirt with wood bridges. Hills, lakes, variety of woodlands. We hiked for four hours and didnt get to them all. Leashed dogs are welcome. Simply lovely.

Wonderful park with great trails!! They also have an interactive environmental center, a bee hive, and a giant map that shows you the entire area of NC.

Ive only ever walked the trail. Nice wooded dirt path that takes you near the lake. If I recall correctly it was about a 2 mile loop.

Watch out for yellow jackets if you venture off a trail! Can get a bit crowded at times but is beautiful.

Good walking trails here. You can also ride a bike on the paved greenway.
