Just visited the park for the first time. It only took 2 hours to drive there from Cary. Views from the overlooks stretched for at least 50 miles. Mountain Laurel and Rhododendron line most of the trails, especially along the stream feeding into the small lake. This makes a great day trip for the outdoor enthusiasts!!
