Point of Interest
Carvers Creek State Park
2505 Long Valley Road, Spring Lake, NC 28390
Carvers Creek State Park was the first NC state park to open in the Sandhills, protecting more than 4,000 acres of longleaf pine landscapes that feel both rare and timeless. Start at Long Valley Farm, once the winter retreat of James Stillman Rockefeller, for serene trails through open fields and longleaf forest. For more miles, head to the Sandhills Access for multiuse trails built for hiking, mountain biking and horseback riding. Ranger-led interpretive programs make it easy to learn what you’re seeing, from birds and insects in the meadows to the longleaf ecosystem that supports it all.
