About this park

A forested nature preserve on the UNC campus, laced with unpaved trails that follow the creek through gentle, mostly flat terrain. A trail map stands at the trailhead, and a stone amphitheater set back in the woods is the standout feature. Trails are easy underfoot but not always well marked.

Before you go

Leash up, these are shared campus trails, not an off-leash run. Parking is paid and metered near the trailhead, so bring the payment app or coins.
