Bridle Trail Conditions - Too Wet for Riding; Construction of Visitor Center in Progress
... details ±Bridle Trail Conditions:
Due to the rain Thursday and Friday night, the bridle trails are currently too wet for riding and should remain too wet through the weekend of March 15. For the safety of riders and horses, as well as the prevention of trail damage, please do not ride the trails until drying has occurred. Remember that horses are allowed only on designated bridle trails. Riding on the power line easement, closed sections of the old West Loop, or areas other than designated bridle trails is unlawful. Hikers are allowed to walk on bridle trails, but should yield the trail when riders approach.
The new parking area is now complete. The parking area has been expanded and includes a new entrance and new exit for easier parking and turning. As a reminder - if you bring dogs they must be on a leash and under control at all times.
New Visitor Center Construction:
Construction on the new Visitor Center for Raven Rock State Park is in progress. Opening is anticipated for April 2010.

Serious plant pests can be introduced into our parks by campers who bring in firewood. To prevent this, many of our parks sell firewood. For campers who choose to bring in their own firewood, please use wood harvested from a source local to the park. Campers should not bring firewood from outside of North Carolina.
