It doesn't get much better than kayaking on a warm North Carolina summer afternoon in Cedarock Park, Alamance County, North Carolina.
Cedarock Park is a 414-acre (1.68 km2) nature preserve, historic farm, and passive-use park located near Bellemont in Alamance County, North Carolina.
Geographic setting
Cedarock Park sits on the banks of Rock Creek, a tributary of Great Alamance Creek on the northwestern side of the Cane Creek Mountains. Located in the Piedmont region of North Carolina, the land is hilly and occasionally steep.
[edit] Human historyPrior to its use as a park, the land was used as a farm by the Garrett family beginning in 1830.[1] The site of the Garrett farm is part of the Cedarock Park Historic District and is known as Cedarock Historic Farm, an educational site where visitors can learn about farm life in 19th-century North Carolina and can encounter goats and donkeys.
[edit] ActivitiesThe park has 6 miles (9.7 km) of trails for hiking, mountain biking, and horse riding, including some trails that are handicapped accessible. It has numerous picnic shelters, campsites, a fishing pond, playgrounds, three gazebos, and two disc golf courses.[2]
The most popular trail at the park is the handicapped-accessible trail that leads to an old rock dam used for water diversion for a now-demolished gristmill. The dam site is erroneously called a waterfall in several places in park literature.
