Hiking is the premier experience at Occoneechee Mountain. Discover challenging trails leading to points of interest such as the summit overlook, fishing ponds, an old quarry and the peaceful Eno River. All of this is enhanced by the piedmont’s changing seasons.
Side trips on the Brown Elfin Knob and Overlook trails and the summit road take you through mature oak forest and to high scenic views. The trails traverse Mountain Laurel and Rhododendron thicket and are particularly beautiful when blooming mid-Spring.
