“William B. Umstead State Park is an ideal destination that ensures various trails. The trail includes a 0.6-mile loop containing Oak Rock, an oak tree grown from a rock outcrop, and interpretive panels identifying plants along the way. Trailheads are located on both sides of the park. The park has three human-made lakes, accessible from Interstate 40 and US 70. Canoe and rowboat rentals are available at the largest lake. The park also features around 13 miles of bridle trails for horseback riding, passing through some of the most scenic and secluded areas. William B. Umstead State Park has picnic grounds with shelters, many of which have fireplaces and can be reserved. A tent campground is open during the summer months for visitors who want to camp.”
