HIKING: Occoneechee Mountain State Natural Area

← NC MOUNTAIN CREEK SR1617 NEAR BAHAMA NC Triple Blaze →

Description

Amazing pocket of nature near the nexis of I-85 and I-40. You may have seen the mountain with the tower on top near the interstate but you really have to hike around to really appreciate the area. Wide gravel road leads to the top with several hiking trails to take you beside the river and small fishing ponds. Be sure to check out the overlook, a nearly shear cliff face that is probably 100-200 feet high. Top elevation is 867 feet.
