Very cool park with access to the Yadkin river and the Boone cave. Several hiking paths across the approximately 110 acre property. There are picnic tables, a covered pavillion, disc golf course, public restrooms, with developed parking and its dog friendly. As well, river access for kayaking, fishing and water activities. We took an afternoon drive out to the park and it is definitely worth the effort and time. Legend has it, that Daniel Boone as a boy and his family first used the cave in one manner or another around 1751. There are numerous developed trails with a trailhead at the top. The walk down to the cave is pretty serious, its built wooden steps but its a serious climb down and even more so up. This is the only drawback to visiting the cave. If you are not prepared to climb back up, I didn't count them but its a couple hundred steps easily. Its an impressive build, but it is a serious climb coming back up. 4 Stars a cool historical park and worth a visit 01166 read more

Such a great little local trail when you want some quick steps for the day. A little over grown and could be cleaned up, but I always use safety tips while hiking. Watch for snakes and tons of spider webs. I brought bug spray for extra protection. Some of the trails were blocked due to flooding but there was no longer a floss coming through, just hadn't been removed. Really enjoyed the strenuous part of the trail. Not advised for smaller children or elderly due to incline and no railing read more

Interesting park. It's on the Yadkin River in Davidson County. Right in the middle of nowhere. There is a pavilion, restrooms, kids playground, frisbee golf, and of course trails. The trails are not too intense but I would not take grandma with her bad knees. You can easily hike to the two small caves that are infested with mosquitoes. The kids got a kick out of it. Some of the road, off the main one, are a little dicey to drive on. Meaning gravel roads, with inclines and some parts washed away from heavy rains. There is river access for canoes and kayakers. Tent camping also available. read more

Easy walk around the park, very quiet on a winter weekday. The trail markings were easy to follow.

I typically would rate any outdoor historical free space a five but this one was not easy to navigate or marked with informative information like others. We went here got some walking in (step steps steps). Looked around and just left. It is interesting to imagine what life was like while Daniel Boone was in that tiny little cave. read more

One in my favorite places to be outside. Never crowded, lots trails, nice tent camping spots and access to the yadkin river.

Nice park with trails to explore along the river & a couple of caves with history of Daniel Boone. We went during the winter but will definitely return for a hike & bring a picnic. read more

It's honestly a home run for my family. We use bug spray before we go and don't have issues as mentioned by a previous poster. The trails are great! It's always slow there which makes it even nicer for us. The trails are well marked and the history of the area makes it even better. I honestly can't think of a better natural work out. It's not for someone who's not ready to do the work. read more

Lovely park in Davison County. They have trails for all levels. There are two parking lots and bathrooms. You can take the stair to see the cave and access other trails. Everything is well marked. read more

Great nature hike and a place to picnic and just enjoy the river and the wooded land.

I was really disappointed because I tried to go here and Dunn's National reserve. Both have their hours posted incorrectly so I drove for 45 minutes and could not get in. read more

We spent an hour hiking here. Trails just OK. Lots of gnats. Very steep wooden stairway down to cave. The trail along the River was closed after a ways, so we climbed back uphill on a trail. The overlook area has no overlook. Maybe the park is better in fall. In summer it was just muggy, buggy and not very scenic. read more

A small park, but nice. You will need to bring your own drinks. There is a few parking spaces. A few short trails if you need to expend some energy. There is a picnic shelter here that can be rented. If you are looking to put your canoe or kayak in the river, you will need to notify the park staff. Just don't expect much here. read more

Awesome place to get your heart pumping with several trails and great scenery. They keep this park very clean. Great place for birthday parties and family get togethers. Along the Yadkin River. read more

2 natural caves... Cool. A river and a pretty view of the river, also cool. The tree is his, the misquotation bigger. The trails are poorly marked. Not much of a hike. If you have a back yard with trees or some woods, save yourself some gas money a bug repellent. We love nature walks and hikes, not at boone's cave tho. There is a foundation is of a keeper's cabin from the 1940's. It's not exactly historic. Big let down. Plus the roads there are tiny. I did enjoy the roads in our convertible... Go to pilot mountain or hanging rock state park if you're in the triad. read more

Boone's Cave, well, I must admit I did online research and was expecting to be underwhelmed. Boone's Cave by description everywhere is an "8-9 foot cave with a little area on the left that goes on for a few feet" In actuality, it is an easy access, way underused park with a cool little cave. The cave only goes in 10-15 feet from the opening, but, if you enter, AND bring a light, the cave goes on for almost 50 feet. There's no exotic stalactites or anything, but there is a low impact caving experience that'll give you some cave cred among the common folk. We were visiting when the river was swollen so we were unable to check out the oldest cottonwood tree in the East. There's also a cool little cemetery on the way, that'll give you a few minutes of exploration above ground. And don't worry about the dogs at the cemetery, they're friendly. read more
