Beautiful park! I love the paved walking trail and 5 stars to that trail! Plenty of parking and a bathroom! However I wish the hiking trail map was easier to understand and that there were physical sign posts of trails along the walk ways. I would feel more confident taking the trails more often. There is almost zero cell service in the park so make sure to download or screenshot the trail map on your phone before you enter. Paper maps are rare. Also, if you want to take hiking trails that are not white or blue, there is less parking options (especially on weekends). Orange trail is beautiful but is hard to park near it and it’s dangerous to try and park along the road. Your car might get stuck in the muddy parking spot too. That’s why I deducted one star. Otherwise it’s a fantastic local park!
Such a wonderful place to hike! They have a historical plantation you can tour (adults are $10), and so many bathrooms along the trails, I loved it! The trails were fun and sometimes challenging, and so beautiful. They intersect and loop around. I’m only giving 4 stars because the GPS directions took us to a dead end, closed off road, so be careful. I wouldn’t put in “Ridley Creek State Park”. Maybe put in something for the white, blue or yellow trail heads and go from there. There is a main area where you can park and also parking at the trailheads. There’s plenty of parking and it was perfect fall weather! They even had an educational display about bats. At the end of our hike, we got to say hi to some beautiful horses. Don’t pet them or feed them though!
Beautiful park. The stone mansion is amazing! Such an interesting house with so much to explore around it. There are tons of different trails to walk and plenty of picnic areas. This is definitely one of the best parks in the area to take pictures at, especially in the fall. I brought my camera and got so many great shots.
