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.

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.
