350-Yard Trail
Trail Description
This is the park's shortest trail but remains the access to the park's signature natural feature: the 90-foot overlook that stands above a 90-degree turn in the Neuse River. For many years, this overlook was a major attraction for the residents of the Seven Springs area, prior to the end of World War II, when the park was formed. The trail begins and ends at the overlook parking lot, located at the end of Park Entrance Road. To fish in the Neuse River, visitors should follow this trail to its southern terminus on the river bank (follow the fish-shaped signs). The section of the path adjacent to the cliff features a well-packed gravel base and is ideal for those with limited mobility and with mobility devices. However, please note that those who go to the trail's southern teminus will have a slightly arduous uphill hike back up. Young children should be supervised closely on all sections of this trail due to the potential hazards of the cliff and the river.
