“A Wealth of Outdoor Fun!”
Approach from any direction and see Pilot Mountain rising more than 1,400 feet above the rolling countryside of the upper Piedmont plateau. Dedicated as a National Natural Landmark in 1976, this solitary peak is the centerpiece of Pilot Mountain State Park. Fun, from relaxation to exhilaration, is easy to find here. Treat yourself to a horseback ride through the woods or challenge the river from raft or canoe.
A seven-mile woodland corridor joins two sections of the park, each section offering a wealth of opportunities for outdoor fun. The mountain segment, which includes the two pinnacles, contains most of the visitor facilities. The more primitive river section centers around the lazy, meandering Yadkin River.
Great trails at the summit. We enjoyed the 2.2 mile rocky ledge trail along the Blue Ridge. Plenty to see and climb along the way!
We drove to the top and took pictures along the cliff areas. There were trail heads, but we didn't have time to go on a hike. We were able to get close enough to take pictures of pilot mountain pretty close!
Pilot Mountain is a absolutely beautiful. It's a small park but it's incredibly beautiful. Their camp sites are also very nice. I camped there overnight. If you're looking for a nice day trip this is a great park but if you want a 3 or 4 day vacation I recommend going to hanging rock state park & pilot mountain in one trip, they're only 45mins apart.
