Finch Park features 3 miles of fairly easy hiking trails near Lexington, NC. There are some beautiful creek crossing where the trail crosses over some bridges, but for the most part this trail is about deep woods and beautiful tree canopies. <br />
It's perfect to spend a little time in nature, but look at for mountain bikers, as this is a popular biking area.
From Charlotte travel I-85 North: Take Exit 94 off of I-85 and go toward town on Old Hwy. 64 which becomes Raleigh Rd. Go about 6 miles, then turn left onto Paul Beck Rd. The entrance to the park is the first driveway to the right. -- From Winston-Salem or anywhere north of Lexington on Hwy. 52: From North Main street in Lexington, turn onto east 5th street. The street will change into Raleigh road after the Davidson Plaza (Burger King, Blockbuster, K-Mart) you will stay on Raleigh rd. past the Correctional Center and over a small bridge. Finch Park is on your right, but the entrance to the park is off the next road on your right at the top of the hill (Paul Beck Rd.)
