Bridle Trail Conditions -dry with some wet areas; Visitor Center now open
... details ±Bridle Trail Conditions:
Dry with some wet areas.
As of August 31st drying has occurred and bridle trails are suitable for riding, although some muddy areas may be encountered along the trails. Use caution to ensure safety for both riders and horses. Should we get any rain during the first week of September the bridle trails will again be too wet for riding during Labor Day weekend. Riding on the power line easement, closed sections of the old West Loop, or areas other than designated bridle trails is unlawful. Hikers are allowed to walk on bridle trails, but should yield the trail when riders approach.
The new parking area is now complete. The parking area has been expanded and includes a new entrance and new exit for easier parking and turning. As a reminder - if you bring dogs they must be on a leash and under control at all times.
The Visitor Center and exhibit hall are now open.

The first feeling you are likely to experience at Raven Rock is one of renewal. Here, the forest reigns as each year the timeless cycle of growth further heals age-old wounds inflicted by man. Nature triumphs as plants compete in the stages of forest succession and the woodlands are restored. High above the Cape Fear River stands Raven Rock, its austere beauty a testament to the forces that have shaped the land. As the river below rushes to join the sea, nature's elements continue to shape the surface of this natural monument.
Spend some time at Raven Rock State Park and let nature refresh your spirit.
