Point of Interest
Mayo River State Park
500 Old Mayo Park Road, Mayodan, NC 27027
Tucked into Rockingham County about 30 miles northwest of Greensboro, Mayo River State Park is built for choose-your-own-adventure days on the water. Start at Mayo Mountain Access for hiking trails, fishing ponds and a picnic shelter, then explore the river corridor at access points such as Deshazo Mill, Anglin Mill, Hickory Creek and Mayodan. The Mayo is rich with wildlife and Class II rapids, plus Deshazo Mill adds a quick waterfall payoff at Fall Creek.
