Occoneechee State Park

Reviewed By BW350 - Midlothian, United States

Love to rent large state park lodges for group get together. Lodge sleeps 16. 6br 3 baths. Waterfront. Park has little splash pool, hiking trails, boat rental, fishing, yurts, campground and lots of acres. Small gift shop with very friendly staff. This is our first time here and we are thoroughly enjoying it. The campsites are very shaded. Great for hot days. Wonderful park to visit.

Whittle's Mill Historic Site and Park

Reviewed By retired4fun2002 - Bracey, United States

We drop in to Whittle's frequently. To watch the water moving so quietly, then going over the falls, and continuing its journey is very peaceful. Sometimes, after a real heavy rain or storm, the parking lot get rough and the sand can be soft and difficult to navigate. To be away from the crowds, amongst the trees and water for a visit or picnic lunch...priceless!
