Park Maps and Brochures:
The trail along the river at Occoneechee Mountain State Natural Area is quite hazardous, with mud and debris. We do not recommend hiking this trail.
Posted on: Tuesday, September 18, 2018Although we have opened our gates, the following cautions apply: The riverside trails have been underwater for days. The water is receding, but these trails are exceedingly muddy, with lots of debris. We do not reccomend hiking on these trails. The trails that do not run beside the river will be in much better condition. Please be careful while in the park!

Posted on: Friday, April 13, 2018Hiking 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.
