San-Lee Park is larger than what it appears to be. It has a great little museum with live critters, like snakes, owls, eagles, and other such wild native animals with detailed descriptions. The park always can host weddings and other events as it has a beautiful open area with stream, walking bridge, a dam. If you want to have a gathering of friends, it also has a nice shelter area with grills for cookouts, and a playground for the little ones. Paddleboats also during the summer. Hiking trails abound including challenging and easy trails. Nothing is missing here. It's worth the visit!
Great place for a family trip and some relaxation. Don't go too far off the main area because it is in kind of a crappy neighborhood with crack heads and Gang Bangers who may be an issue. Daylight is the best time though.
Great place to take a afternoon stroll. Its in a country area, with woods, a pond, nice paths. Plenty of room, plus a pinic area and restroom.
We had a great hike at San-Lee Park one day while visiting the area. The fishing areas were busy with happy, friendly folks. It will surely be a joy to visit again.
The park is fun and enjoyable. The building for the reptiles could use an upgrade. Other then that its fun and free, except the paddle boats.
Nature center is being rebuilt after a devistating fire. Call before you head for a visit. Paddle boats are fun. Must have NC fishing license before your drop your hook or the on site ranger will ticket you.
This great single track trail consists of 11 mile trail with rocks, roots, and jumps. The most technical sections can be bypassed. Would not recommend for beginners. But intermediate and expert riders will find this trail lots of fun.There is a lake with paddle boat rental, hiking, camping, and a museum with live animals, mostly snakes.
we liked the park overall it was a bit crowded, but friendly fishing was good too. family atmosphere and the animal exhibit was also good
Went to San Lee Park for the first time today. Spent over 3 hours there between the playground, nature center (no fee), and nature trails. This is an excellent park for the entire family from toddlers to teens. The staff was friendly and informative. We will definitely be going back soon.
This park is packed with fun! I have enjoyed camping, local events, fishing competitions, and private events at San-Lee Park. If you are looking for a place to have your outdoor wedding, you can have a beautiful ceremony with awesome pictures at San-Lee. When you visit be sure to take the Paddle Boats or Canoes out and don't forget to pack your fishing pole! Oh and if you don't go inside to check out the snakes and other animals you're missing out!Camping at San-Lee is very affordable and it's located in a great area.
