I come from New Hampshire, and this tiny North Carolina park reminds me of our New England woods. Located right on the edge of the Virginia border, but easily accessible in less than an hour from Greensboro, it's not fancy nor wildly exciting. But it's amazingly satisfying and relaxing. A short hike through beech trees takes you to a brook that spills over rocks, creating a small but scenic waterfall. It's particularly nice with the autumn foliage, though I'd love to see it in the Spring when the water is high. The air is cool and refreshing. The only amenities are a few picnic tables near the parking lot. We visited on a Holiday weekend, and only saw one other car there, so I'm guessing this State Park is an under-the-radar secret. Fine by me.
