Description

The Bridle Trail section called the Long Loop is the 16-mile trail which encircles the Morrow Mountain of which a portion is designated as Carolina Thread Trail. Horses, their riders and hikers travel the same path that Native Americans did over ten thousand years before.

The State Park reaches "from the summit of Morrow Mountain to Lake Tillery, where a boathouse offers canoes and rowboats for rent and bait for fishing. Visitors can launch their own craft from a boat ramp. A family campground with 106 sites for tents, trailers and RVs is close by a swimming pool with bathhouse. Group camping, remote backpack camping and rustic vacation cabins give more choices for extended stays." Morrow Mountain State Park WEBSITE.

Falcon Trail Takes Flight in Stanly County
