Welcome to Trails of NC
North Carolina boasts an abundance of great hiking trails. Here you'll find a guide to many of those trails, with maps, directions, photos and more.
Featured Photo
The Barred Owl, also known as the Hoot Owl, is one of the most common North American owls. It preys mostly on small mammals but is also known to eat smaller birds and even fish and turtles. Though nocturnal, the Barred Owl may be seen in the daytime more frequently than most owls.

Clean Jordan Lake
Clean Jordan Lake has been working since 2009 to remove trash from Jordan Lake. About 100,000 people in Cary, Apex, Morrisville, and the surrounding areas depend on Jordan Lake for their drinking water, but the quality of the water has become seriously compromised by the thousands of pounds of debris and chemicals that are discarded into the lake every year. Clean Jordan Lake has made significant progress, but needs your help to reclaim this water supply.

17 Acre Wood Nature Preserve
This small nature preserve runs along the banks of Ellerbe Creek for just under half a mile. A paved trail follows the creek's southern bank and connects with Indian Trail Park and Westover Park. Another half mile of unpaved nature trails take you through the nearby floodplain forest.
02.09.11 - Today we unveiled a new layout which includes a vastly improved photo gallery. You can now sort photos by keyword, rate photos, save them to your own custom collection, view in larger sizes, and even order prints of photos you like. We hope the changes improve the usefulness of the site and as always we'd love to hear your ideas for additional improvements.
10.28.10 - After a long hiatus we have begun adding a backlog of new park information to Trails of NC. Expect a new layout and other improvements early next year.
