    The Reservoir!
    Sky T.

    This is a great park with a beautiful reservoir, hence its name! Definitely good for paddle-boarding or kayaking. Parking at the main location can be a pain especially early in the morning when all the early-bird runners are getting their workouts in. However, they have three other parking spots for access to the other trails: Elizabeth Rounds Park (570 Pee Dee Rd) or Whitehall Trail (490 Pee Dee Rd) and up north at Nick's Greenway (7200 NC 22 Hwy). The main loop (David R White) is about 2 miles long around the lake, but they have plenty of other trails that you can mix and match to add to your run. There are also little work out challenges through the path so you could end up doing a circuit-like workout as well. They also have a disc golf course going on too if you're into that. Overall, it's a lively park with a lot of people and is a trail runner's paradise with all the paths to take. So grab your running shoes because there is much to explore!

    A lovely park in Southern Pines with hiking trails! Surrounding the reservoir is a wide, mostly gravel 2 mile trail. Some areas are paved. There are picnic areas and pavilions available near the parking area for parties. There is a restroom facility near the parking area. The trail is suitable for walking, running, biking, or pushing a stroller with trail wheels. Dog friendly, but must be kept on leash. Kid friendly, they don't have to be on a leash (lol). Exercise stations for the trail. Recommend brining water. Fishing is allowed. It is scenic and relaxing. Sometimes a bit crowded. This park is our "go to" for feeling like we left the suburban area and getting out into nature.

    My family loves the Reservoir! It's outdoors and it's FREE! #walking- one lap around the lake is 2miles. #biking- there are multiple other trails that span off the main circle, so you can easily get a 10-20mi bike ride in. There is a bike repair station at the main park entrance #playing- a green hill/space and plenty of trails, a disc gold course. #"hiking"- it's the Sandhills! #boating- there is a boat ramp, new floating dock and kayak dock. #fishing- off the lake edge & dock #picnics- quite a few open picnic tables and a large covered area with tables #relaxing- benches, picnic tables & a swing, animal viewing (turtles, geese, ducks). #restrooms- they are typically fairly clean There is also exercise equipment scattered around the lake- parallel bars, balance beam, etc. Only things that could make the reservoir perfect would be play ground equipment, but then I might miss the "natural playground feel".

    morning mushroom hunting after it rained last night

    Amazing place lots of trails!!! i went looking for a decently safe place to rife my bike in a rainstorm and get back if there's lightning, I wouldn't recommend this place specifically for that because there's a lot of water and telephone poles. you shouldn't be riding your bike in a storm anyways so 5 stars!!!

    Walking all the way around the lake is a great workout. Think it's 2-3 miles. Good amount of people but everyone was friendly. Great scenery and views.

    Took a little dip in the water after our long run.

    Great running/biking trail that runs almost two and a half miles around the lake and attaches to other trails that spread elsewhere and also go for miles according to the maps they have posted. The loop around the lake is really nice, there are a couple little wooden bridges to cross as you wind in and out of the trees getting a different view of the lake every time. Scenic Lake to canoe, kayak, dock and spaces to fish or do other recreational activities. There are many picnic areas and even a disc golf course. My dog and I love to run here and after, he likes to take a dip in the lake with the ducks to cool off, just be careful for the snapping turtles !! We learned the hard way... Gotta check it out!!

    One of the best trails I've been to so far in NC. It's a nice short trail, under 2 miles. It is a very scenic beautiful place that is great for singles, families and pets! Has decent size parking lot, benches throughout the trail, and even some grills! I would definitely recommend this trail to anyone looking for something that isn't too strenuous.

    Great place to walk the dog or to just sit back and read a book. You can bring your own kayak and go on the water. Tons of trails to explore

    We took a romantic stroll before dusk. This place is perfect for a getaway from the hustle & bustle of city life.

    There is a perfect two mile loop with just enough hills to make it interesting but not strenuous.

    Beautiful playground! lots of fun here for all ages, from disc golf to a lovely walk. Will come…read moreback for sure

    Rock Ridge Park is a great little park hidden away off the main highway. It's a community nature…read morepark on land donated by a nearby business. Although it's still being developed, the park offers a nice paved walking path (and a natural path) that winds through the wooded area. There's a small playground (made out of natural wood materials ) for the younger kids and an outdoor amphitheater and a small picnic shelter, and all along the path are benches available to sit and watch the surrounding activity, if that's your preference. I also saw the frames for the short zipline, but am not sure when or if it's operating. Dogs are allowed on the paths, and there a plenty of stations available to pick up after your furry friend, and future plans appear to include a dog park, disc golf that's under construction, an open field and bike trails. It was pretty quiet the day I was there, early in the morning before the heat kicked in, so I had plenty of time to explore. Although it's in a wooded area, the trees are cut back from the path leaving plenty of room to walk. That's going to be useful as more people find this place and take advantage of all it offers.
