South Fork River Park

Wide, safe hiking/walking trails for everyone! Dog friendly area. We love coming here with our dogs. Walk down to the river and have lunch and let the dogs play. Great local place for us!

Well maintained trail with only one steep part by the river. Picnic tables, benches, and trashcans by river. Beautiful scenery, wildlife to view. Great place for pets!

i wish i had a canoe cause this would be the perfect place to use it. the park is nicely maintained but quite small—still beautiful, tho. so, i took some selfies lol

Very peaceful and well maintained. Water view reminds me of A River Runs through it at one spot.

Great place for a picnic. Wide maintained paths with benches, picnic table and trash cans. We enjoyed it and will go back.

Great park. There is a short walk to reach the river. Lots of turtles in this spot.

Well maintained trail. Not a lot of foot traffic so its perfect for dogs and kids. The river is the perfect finish reward.

An easy hike and easy to get to. Very quiet and peaceful.

The trail was beautiful, and it was so relaxing. We didn't make it down to the river, so I haven't seen the whole park yet, but we definitely want to go back. The trail can be a little steep-- not stroller friendly (I carried the baby in a carrier).

Very beautiful place to walk around with friends, family, pets or just by yourself. Lots of river front too and enough space to set up and enjoy a day out there while the sun's up. Not to mention it's mostly level ground. Be careful after rainy days tho. Can produce a good amount of mud to walk thru.

Maybe before exploring the wilderness and getting an escape from work you should do research on how to live life in the wild. I have seen a handful of reviews of people who do not know how to survive in the wild. Maybe before you travel you should practice and research. I cannot stand seeing reviews of people who cannot handle even seeing a cicada.

They keep the trails pretty clear here and the trails are fairly wide. There is a nice waterfront area to enjoy fishing it simply enjoying the flooring river going by.

Really nice and well maintained wide walking path.

Great place to escape the city only 25 minutes from Uptown Charlotte. Hiking and Biking trails. River access is very nice to put canoes and kayaks in and out of river. It is a good hike to river, better put in than take out, as itvis downhill all the way to river.
1.5 mile downstream from park, there is McAdenville Dam. Dam is just downstream, below McAdenville access, Portage across river on river left. Stay away from dam. Take out on river right just past interstate bridge is a great option instead of portaging. If you portage, next access is Goat Island Park in Cramerton.

Allot of these pictures don't really tie in to this place. But it's a really awesome park. Great for walking and looking at the river. If you go early, you can even see the local bever.

What a gem! So glad I found something closer with more steep inclines to train on. Awesome for a quick 1 lap or vary your routes and get a really solid workout in. 💞Swoon.

Very nice hike in woods and along river. Benches are in good shape, trail wide and well maintained.

We take our dogs to this trail, or just walk it without them.
It's a very good 1 mile trek!

I stumbled upon this park by our coincidence and it was quite the pleasant surprise. Beautiful scenery and the trail that I walked was clean and clear.

Trails are well maintained and the surroundings are beautiful. Plenty of opportunity for exploration!
