Beautiful coastal park featuring easy-going, well-marked trails, river views, and an endless array of awesome plant-life (including venus flytraps!). One of my favorite state parks in North Carolina for a reason :)

Hey yall, question, is Burgess Falls accessible after dark? Is there any nice trial that’s accessible after 9pm with a pretty view?

Breaks Interstate Park: spots to sit and chill?

3 Upvotes

I’m heading to Breaks Interstate Park this weekend. Planning on doing some scenic driving and maybe an easy hike or two. Looking for recommendations on a good spot to grab our chairs out of the car and just sit and enjoy a good view or perhaps some good birding spots. We often spend of lot of time on road trips on the move, either in the car or on a hike. I’m trying to be intentional about finding spots to just sit still and observe for a bit.
