“Spectacular surroundings await you!”

Raptors soar gracefully in the wind; vegetation reaches to the sky; sheer vertical cliffs drop 150 feet. Enjoy the spectacle from a front-row seat. High atop Crowders Mountain, the second highest point in Gaston County, views stretch for more than 25 miles. For a closer view of nature's marvels, walk the park's many miles of trails. The gently rolling landscape of the North Carolina Piedmont offers a variety of terrain. Dip into the valleys; cross the foothills; climb to the peaks. Quiet woods, trickling streams and melodious birds await. These spectacular surroundings, like the unique habitats in many other state parks, would not exist were it not for the efforts of concerned citizens dedicated to protecting our environment.

An unbelievable park! The hike to the top of King's Pinnacle was mildly strenuous but completely worth it. If you're staying over night definitely try to make it up there for the sunset/sunrise or both! It gets pretty dark so make sure you bring strong flashlights or headlamps. The campsite itself was great with free firewood and good water. The bathrooms down at the visitor center were very clean as well.
