Hiking the trails of Stone Mountain | Places to Camp & Hike | North Carolina

Stone Mountain State Park is located in Alleghany and Wilkes counties, approximately 60 miles northwest of Winston-Salem, North Carolina. This park boasts a 600-foot granite dome, which has been designated as a National Natural Landmark. Additionally, you’ll find the historic Hutchinson Homestead, a beautifully restored mid-19th-century farm situated at the base of the mountain. We skipped the homestead, but plan to take this hike on our next visit to the park.
Address: 3042 Frank Parkway, Roaring Gap, NC 28668

Stone Mountain State Park offers hiking, horseback riding, fishing, and rock climbing. You can explore approximately 20 miles of hiking trails and enjoy the scenic beauty of waterfalls, creeks, and trout streams.
