occoneechee mountain state natural area印象

This state park sits right outside of Hillsborough. It is easy to reach via Orange Grove Road and has some terrific, easy-to-walk trails. This park is an ideal place to visit for an afternoon stroll and our family has enjoyed it for several years.

We hike up to the overlook on Occoneechee 'mountain' with our 6, 11 and 83 year old family members. The paths are well marked and the elevation was manageable for all. The view from the outlook over the Eno river is really beautiful. We did a loop which was about 1 mile and took us a leisurely 1 hour 15 minutes.

Our visit to Hillsborough started in the morning at Occoneechee. You can get a free map near the parking spot/restrooms. We walked the Occoneechee Mt. Loop trail. On the map there is a marker 'rock formation'. The northern rock formation is seriously amazing. It is not indicated on the map but you have to walk a little off track (it is indicated when you walk there). Someone told us they used to mine there. Must see! From the Occoneechee trail up north we went to the overlook trail. Beautiful view over the valley! Via Brown Elfin Knob Trail we walked right onto the Occoneechee trail again and finished the loop. Near the fishing ponds there is a beautiful place to rest or have lunch. We walked for maybe 2-2.5 hours including lunch. When you go there early in the morning it is not crowded at all.

We've taken the trails but our favorite use of this space is to take breakfast or lunch to the picnic area and enjoy the peace. We hear the road noise from i85 but we consider it white noise. I just wish they would lower the speed limit because some people stir up a dust cloud which travels across the picnic tables.

Quick 1 mile hike up the mountain, not too strenuous, saw some butterflies and deer. Nice view once you get to the top and then there is a shortcut back down. Great for a 1-2 hour hike.

My husband and I have hiked here several times. Easy to get to. The rock area is amazing. Picnic tables available. There is a large outhouse also near the parking lot.

I have walked the Occoneechee Mountain trail around the perimeter dozens of times. It is a great experience as I move from the sounds of rushing cars (I-85 is nearby) to the quiet of the forest. The trail is well marked and easy to follow. The place is seldom crowded and you make the walk in less than an hour.

Very nice state park close to town, well marked trails, maps, and good parking area. Numerous different trails to take, either to the summit or the river

I run or hike these trails about 5 or 6 times a week. The Mountain Loop has the largest elevation detla in the area. It's a great workout if you like running hills. If you are into a more leisurely pace, there's a lot of trees, water and dirt to enjoy.The trails are well maintained and clearly marked. The only down side to this park is the fact that it is right next to Interstate 85. So traffic noise is always there. Then again, it's proximity to the interstate makes it easy to get to by car.
