I’ve been to Occoneechee park twice now, the first time in September and the second on Halloween. It’s really a beautiful park, not too far of a drive from Raleigh. The trail is well maintained. It’s a relatively moderate trail with just one tough stretch for me, to get to the look out point. But it’s just a beautiful hike the whole way and the look out point has amazing views. There’s a very basic restroom at the parking lot (bring hand sanitizer). I’ve really enjoyed my hikes here and I’ll definitely be back.

Very peaceful trail! Not too many people all up in my business which was nice. I could take my time and relax and enjoy my hike. It was harder than Ravens rock and I was sweating by the end of it! We went for about 2.4 miles according to my tour guide. Questionable based on my Fitbit haha. But it was nice. Lots of people brought their dogs. Pretty view! Parking got a bit crowded but we made our own spot. No big. If only it was closer I would come back all the time!

A beautiful easy hike that took about 2 hours roundtrip! We went on a Saturday morning and there was ample parking in a lot and a clearly marked trail. The trail is partly within the trees and partly in open fields. At the end of the trail we enjoyed the beautiful view of Eno River and of the city. The park is located in Hillsborough so it’s also fun to do a short hike here then hop over to downtown hillsborough for lunch!

It’s a beautiful view and great hiking trails The summit is no longer there so unfortunately going all the way to the top is waste of time.

Great park for hiking. Peaceful with some interesting history and geological features. Great view (particularly near sunset) from the cliffs. Great work-​out too if you take mountain loop trail as there are some moderate climbs. Only thing keeping it from being 5 stars is that some of the trails could be better maintained (places where the are lots of exposed roots and rocks — so watch yourself as you could do a tumble or twist your ankle if not careful!). Other than that, great park!

I headed over to the Occoneechee trail with high hopes. When I hopped out of my car and started on the path, the sound of traffic hit me hard. While I understand that the hum of cars isn’t abnormal when you first START a hike, the noise continued for way too long. I did not get the sense of peacefulness that I had experienced on Eno’s Rock Quarry or Mountain to Sea trail a few weeks earlier. This trail is over before you know it, electric towers abound and litter from local fast-​food joints frequently catches your eye. I started picking up plastic cups before I realized I didn’t have enough room in my hands to continue.
The stars go to the Scout troops that have clearly worked hard to improve some segments of the trail.

Whoever posted that this is a 2.2 mile hike is definitely wrong. It was at least 3 miles and it was very rocky and uneven. This is not a hike for a beginner at all. There also several places where it is very easy to twist your ankle so be very alert. I do like the idea of going to Maple View Farms Ice Cream Shop which is about 13 minutes away from the trail. Also, the bathroom at the beginning of the trail is atrocious and smelled terrible. I was afraid to sit down on it.

I’m more of a trail runner than a hiker, so my only wish was that it was longer — it’s just over too quickly!
The trail up to the summit, although not as scenic as some of the overlooks, is a good place to practice hill repeats, though…

This is mine and my boyfriend’s favorite hike in the area. The trail is challenging enough to make it interesting but easy enough for most people to be able to complete. The view from the overlook is very pretty, especially on a clear day. There are picnic tables at the start of the trail that are shaded for eating lunch or a snack after your hike. We love bringing our dogs and especially love how tired they are afterward. I also love that each time we’ve been, it’s not very busy, which is a bonus if you have dogs that get very excited around people or other dogs. Great quick afternoon hike!
After your hike, head over to Maple View Farm, just a quick drive on the other side of I-​40, to get some fresh ice cream!

Nice trails not too far from home. We have hiked the river and mountain loops. They are easy hikes with few hills. There are always people around (in case your car battery dies and needs jumping) but it is not crowded at all. Overall, its a nice, leisurely way to spend a weekend morning.

Beautiful (and less than a mile from my house!) Great hike for some good exercise with the dogs. There’s a pond and a beautiful view of the Eno, which the dogs love taking a cool-​down swim in. It’s a gem hidden out of the way. If you’re a hiker, come check it out.

The rhododendrons are just finishing up, but the mountain laurel is still going strong – gorgeous!

I went back to Occoneechee Mountain this afternoon with my sweetheart, who is an ordained minister. She was there to marry a couple that wanted to celebrate their union in a natural setting. The ceremony was performed on the far side of the pond, and was attended by, among others, a mother goose and her gander, and seven or eight little goslings. In one of the photos that I took during the ceremony, you can see a deer ambling through the woods about 100 feet behind the happy couple. I love this place. Again, I only wish it were larger.

We found this trail in «100 Classic Hikes in North Carolina» — the book hasn’t steered us wrong yet. Went last weekend — the trail is close enough we’ll probably make it a regular local hike we do. There are a few steep parts to be prepared for, but the hike is only moderate level difficulty.

Great hike with some uphills, fun way to spend 45+ minutes on a relatively well graded 2.2 mile loop trail.
Several vistas, and if you hike with an earth sciences or geology buddy, all the better to learn the history of the area!
