Point of Interest
William B. Umstead State Park
8801 Glenwood Ave., Raleigh, NC 27617
Just minutes from downtown Raleigh, William B. Umstead State Park feels like a deep-woods reset with miles of hiking and multiuse trails, shady creek crossings and three manmade lakes. Come for a quick loop, bring a bike for longer trail time, or pack a picnic and claim a spot near the water. It’s one of the best places in the Triangle to swap screen time for birdsong.
