Elk Knob State Park
5564 Meat Camp Road, Todd, NC 28684
Elk Knob State Park puts one of the High Country’s highest summits within reach, topping out at 5,520 feet with a steady climb to wide-open views. The summit trail is a park favorite for good reason, and when winter weather rolls in, this is the only NC state park that offers cross-country skiing and snowshoeing (bring your own gear). Beyond the peak, primitive backcountry campsites for individuals and groups let you extend the experience into a quiet overnight in the mountains.
