This is a really small park but it has a lot to offer for its size…read more What you notice immediately about the park is the brick smoke stacks on the opposite side of the river at what was once Cone Fabrics. Between the river and parking is a practice spot for disc golf. I have seen disc golf practice tee's before but they usually are near a disc golf park and they don't have the distance on top of the disc catcher. There were 3 there.I thought this was a pretty cool feature of the park. Also this park provided permanent corn-hole boards which were made of concrete or resin. There were bathrooms, a shelter, play ground and gazebos. Plenty of open space and parking. You can walk right down to the river and there are some really nice views. Again, small park but for its size it stands out.

Super cute park. Perfect for picnics and celebrations. There is a dam in the middle of the park,…read moreand on one end of the park there are swings and a mini playground. Across the river you can see a beautiful golf course, and enjoy a gorgeous sunset while sitting/standing at the hill top. Running up and down the hill is a sure way of getting an awesome workout. There aren't many trees in the common areas, so it may not be the best place to be at noon on a summer day, but as I said before, sunsets are beautiful, so near closing time is a great time to go. The park is small, and there are just a few shelters with picnic tables, but seems like the perfect place to enjoy a weekend afternoon. On the weekends the park sets up fun freesbie golf games on each end. Couldn't find the exact address, but it's located on Eastchester Dr., between Hilton Ct. & Lake Forest Dr.

Very cool park, despite its small size. Sitting on a blanket next to the lake is wonderful.

Plenty of picnic tables with grills for get-togethers. Two parking areas. A restroom set in the middle. Simply another nice little gem that the town of Kernersville.

This is such a well rounded park that serves a variety of interests for all ages and skillsets. The…read moreplayground was the main attraction for us but we also enjoyed the walking trails, especially in the summer, since they are well shaded. There is even a creek if your kids enjoy water play. The trails are paved so it's excellent for riding bikes or scooters too. The playground itself has multiple slides, swings, plenty of obstacles for the kids to climb and what I found most fascinating was the monkey bars that were toddler height! I have never seen that on a playground before so it was very appealing to me since my child enjoys them but is always in need of assistance considering they are often so high. In addition to the playground there is a basketball court, skate park and tennis court. The park seems well maintained, the bathrooms are little dated so it would be nice to see an improvement with that one day. Great place to rent an outdoor shelter for a cookout or birthday party.

The park has a walking track that runs about 3/4 of a mile. The park has soccer and baseball fields, tennis/pickleball courts and a picnic shelter. The playground for kids is in excellent condition with a three-story climbing tower and multiple slides. There are picnic tables nearby for the adults to sit while the kids burn off some energy.

You can park at the lower or upper access, I recommend parking at the upper if you aren't paddling…read more It is about a two mile walk that doesn't loop. The trail is very sandy in some parts so be prepared for that, I also recommend wearing bug spray. We had a blast walking out onto the rocks. You can also play in the river, bring a picnic or go fishing.

Haw River State Park is like no other NC state park. We had a great time!…read more All 5 trails are clearly marked and our kept clear (so you can see where the trail is). The Great Blue Heron trail is 3.2 miles and has mile markers along the way to tell you how far you've gone, and takes you deep into the wilderness. You have to take the .4 mile connector trail to get to it. They have a wetlands boardwalk that takes you to the Haw River viewpoint. The viewpoint is small and the river is nearly standstill, but still is beautiful. The lake look trail takes you around the lake (obviously) and you can catch some turtles swimming in the lake! We saw one on a log. The piedmont loop trail is the perfect length to walk with your dog or small children. Mosquitoes are bad, but aren't aggressive (they just like to stay in clusters along the trail). In May there were zero biting flies like horseflies or yellow flies. It may be a bit of a challenge to park something big in here like an RV, but it's doable. The visitor center is at the summit access point, and is connected to the conference center. Restrooms are clean, and staff are kind!!
